Description

One of the things that brings me is most happiness is being outdoors, whether it be working with the land, exploring, learning - all of these things feel so grounding when I'm out in nature. I especially love cold water swimming.

Connecting with other individuals also brings me so much joy. Over food, around a fire, in the early morning - sharing moments of our human experience is beyond special to me and makes me who I am. However, I also find a lot of solace in time alone. I love reading, writing and making music. Both the times of connection with others, and alone with myself are invaluable to such things.

What else ...

One of the main things I'm searching for is time in nature with other like-minded people. I really want to learn more about gardening - especially permaculture and growing food. I have spent the past five years living in the city (Glasgow) studying Philosophy, then working full time as a music teacher, musician and waitress amidst other pieces of work. It has been an amazing but somewhat crazy time. I grew up rurally on the Isle of Skye and feel I am being called back to my roots - rural living, a slower pace of life and a strong sense of culture, community, respect and understanding of the land around me and family.
