Activities we are interested in:

Hello! I love to do any kind of craftsmanship (e.g. wood working, metal work, sewing, knitting, and crochet). I also am interested in sustainable farming and have experience on permaculture farms.

Description

Hello! I am a person who loves the outdoors and environmentalism. I love to rock climb and have worked as an instructor in the past. I also enjoy fine crafts such as woodworking, metalwork, sewing, embroidery, cooking, and crochet. I enjoy other activities like sustainable farming, running, etc. (I find my list of hobbies tend to be never-ending)

I've worked on multiple sustainable farms from the Midwest U.S., to the mountains, deserts, and in Finland. I'm not afraid of hard work and am capable of being on my own.

I truly love to learn, and will always be down to pick up a new skill or learn new information. In addition, I love to share knowledge. So if you have any interest in any of these things, I'd love to teach you, or we can learn more together.

I am a recent graduate with a bachelor's in Architecture and Environmental Science and a minor in Geographic Information Sciences.

I am certified in geographic mapping as well as passive house design.

If you care about the earth and love the outdoors, I think we'll be a great fit :)

My friend Saverio is from Venice, Italy and he also loves the outdoors and is finishing his master's in biomedical engineering

More details about your skills

I have worked on sustainable and permaculture farms for about two years. I've worked on farms in the Temperate zone, Alpine desert, and the desert. I'm not afraid of hard work and enjoy learning as much as I can.

I'm a fine cook (the internet makes everything accessible) and am able to keep a home quite clean.
Other skills include:
- metalwork (I work in metal fabrication and am creating a line to showcase at my school's museum)
- woodwork
- sewing, I can mend clothes as well as create from designs
- embroidery
- crochet/knitting, I'm better at crochet than knitting
- piano/violin
- graphic design, CAD modeling, photography
- rock climbing - I've been the president of my university's club for the past two years and work at a rock wall teaching people how to climb.
