CURRENT MISSION

To find the gems of this country

ABOUT ME

I am currently taking a year off of school to farm and explore California. From September to December I will be doing this through WWOOFing (Worldwide Opportunities on Organic Farms) and from December on the plan is a little less clear. Regardless I am incredibly excited and embracing this experience with curious and open eyes. I am so in love with people and land and cultures and lifestyles. I love encountering new people and new experiences and I am just eager for this journey to progress and for myself to develop and grow within it.

PHILOSOPHY

I invest a lot into learning about the land around me, and I hope to continue to live my life surrounded by bountiful respected land.
