Beschreibung
The times we have felt most alive are the moments spent in nature. Living in New York City, a place rich with diversity and culture, has offered us the opportunity to discover and learn new things everyday. Overtime, however, the fast pace of city life has started to wear down on us, resulting in a general lack of fufillment. We hope to find purpose exploring the abundance of natural beauty this world and it's many people have to offer! There is something special about growing plants or tending to animals, watching them prosper as time passes, and being able to harvest and live off of the fruits of this dedication. For us, dedicating ourselves to building an intentional relationship with the earth is much more fulfilling then working a typical 9 to 5 job. We initially joined Workaway to find a community of people that share these same values. This program offers the opportunity to not only travel, but to discover the different environments, vegetation, and ways of living that are unique to communities around the globe. There are so many things we have yet to experience and we're eager to learn from those who can teach!

I volunteered at one of the only compost farms in NYC. Practicing teamwork with other volunteers was important and I saw firsthand a reality of the food waste we create and the importance of transforming this waste into something beneficial. Recently I worked with an art gallery to help restore an exhibit. This consisted of polishing 500 brass rods, measuring the space carefully, and realigning them. I have held jobs working as a chef in various restaurants, specializing in Japanese cuisine. My time as a chef contributed to my love for farming from a different perspective. The art of cooking and the many beautiful dishes could not be created if it wasn't for a single seed being planted from the beginning.
For the past 2 years I have embarked on a total of 14 month Workaway trips across Asia. I spent time on multiple farms, harvesting vegetables and taking care of blueberry trees. In Okinawa I lived and worked on a dairy farm, taking care of the cows and other animals such as ducks, chickens, rabbits, and a tortoise! In Hokkaido I took part in forestry maintenance and the processing/cutting of firewood to support my host’s local business. In Gunma, Japan I worked as a guesthouse staff and also helped out roasting beans and serving in the cafe they owned. I had the unique oppotunity to learn about Buddhism at a monastery in Kaohsiung. We lived among the monks and contributed daily by cleaning shrines or volunteering in the kitchen. My last Workaway was spent in Thailand, helping my host with constructing various DIY projects while also taking care of the house and his 9 cats! Each of these experiences offered me unique opportunities to not only learn and strengthen various skills, but also grow as a person.

I've been playing guitar since I was 8 years old. Music is one of the biggest passions in my life. It allows me to express myself in a way without words. It's powerful in the sense that songs can carry emotions and memories with them. It's also a means to connect and unite others.
I try to go on a hike at least once a week during the weekend. It's so important to have a moment in nature without the craziness of the world. It allows me a moment to breathe and come back to myself. When I reach the top of a mountain, I am rewarded with a breathtaking view. It humbles me; I feel grateful for the earth and everything I have.
My grandmother has also been an avid gardener for as long as I can remember. I help out in her garden, harvesting her vegetables (mainly tomatoes and different herbs), weeding, and fertizilizing her plants.
Some of my other hobbies include biking and cooking for my family.
