I am currently

Description

Hi! I am a team player and hard worker exploring enrichment through hands-on learning. I have some experience doing physical work (esp. tending to crops and weeding/weedwacking) and fitting in with a live-in community. I spent early april - early August of this year doing continuous WWOOF/Workaway first at an avocado/passion fruit farm and then at a sustainability property and event space. In the past I had a short term stay at Rigdzin Ling Buddhist temple (near the Trinity Alps) where I worked/practiced. I am passionate about getting to know people and learning from their skills and life experiences.
