About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To live every day to its fullest, to appreciate the beauty in every moment, to love fully and uninhibited!

ABOUT ME

I'm an American born, Asian rasied, culturally confused child. I spent most of my growing up years somewhere between NC, China and Thailand (my parents were humanitarian aid workers)

I just graduated from university in New York studying international agriculture and ecology. I managed a small organic farm last year and have completely fallen in love with farming. There is nothing like getting up early, getting your hands dirty and growing vegetables! I'm almost as crazy about cooking vegetables as I am about growing them.

I love nature and being outdoors. I enjoy backpacking, rock climbing sailing a and sea kayaking. I try to live as ecologically conscious as possible. I love to find funky ways of recycling things and experimenting with making my own soap and other eco-nerdy stuff.

I am a Ukelele player and love making music and singing with friends. I am pretty easy going and enjoy laughing, sharing stories and ideas. Going out is fun and all, but I'm usually just as content to stay in and sip tea over a good conversation.

I am especially interested in topics of community and ecology. I hope to one day in the future be a part of or start an intentional ecological community.

CURRENTLY, I am embarking on a pilgrimage from Lisbon to Santiago de Compostella by foot, with my best friend. The whole journey should take a month, I am very excited!

PHILOSOPHY

I'm just along for the ride.
