Description

Hi, I'm Emma (48, oddball) travelling with my dog, Jackie (1, Dachshund) in a van I built last year.
I love working with plants, animals, food, and timber. I'm a cook and a teacher by trade. I set up and lived on a small farm in my thirties.
I love to forage, fly fish, build useful things from salvaged material, and to bring people together around a meal. The rhythm and community of rural living feels right to me.

More details about your skills

In my twenties and thirties I taught bridge and ran my own catering company. Then I bought a small piece of land near Oberon in NSW, Wiradjuri country. I spent a decade there, learning to grow, forage and preserve. And learning how to make the things I needed from what was nearby. I had no instruction so my building skills are super agricultural, so to speak. In building my van I've learned more about electrical and plumbing too.

Age

48

What else ...

My van is self contained, so I don't need accommodation.

If anyone wants to learn bridge...
