Description
Thirty years in, and I finally asked myself the question that changed everything: Why stop dreaming?
For most of my life, I followed the conventional path — work hard, be reliable, earn a steady living. After five years in office life, though, I started feeling a quiet restlessness. The idea of doing the same thing for the next thirty years didn't sit right with me. Something was missing.
As a child, I dreamed of becoming a vet, living close to animals and nature, building things with my own hands, and growing my own food. That dream never really faded — I just stopped listening to it for a while. Now, I'm listening again.
I'm proactive, curious, and the kind of person who practices something repeatedly until I've truly mastered it. I don't back down from a challenge — I recently completed a 10-mile running marathon, which I think says a lot about my endurance and commitment. When I'm not running, you'll find me hiking, camping, or cooking a big meal for friends and guests. Everyone who sits at my table leaves happy, and I love that.
I always keep a book close by. Right now I'm reading The Book of Joy, which feels fitting for where I am in life — stepping out of comfort and into something more meaningful.
What I'm looking for is not a getaway. I want to learn — deeply and hands-on — about farming, sustainable living, and what it truly means to be connected to the land and the animals on it. I'm ready to work, ready to listen, and ready to grow. -
