Description

Hola!

For much of my 20's I travelled around the Americas and volunteered on many different farms and eco-projects. For the last five years I've been living at Dancing Rabbit Ecovillage in Missouri, USA. We are regenerating the native Tallgrass Prairie ecosystem and exploring ways of living in cooperatively and sustainably. In my daily life I raise cows and goats as part of a cooperative, work on various natural building projects, engage in ecological conservation work, work for an environmental non-profit (primarily helping fundraising), and cook twice a week for 10-15 people as part of a kitchen co-op.

I love to explore how people are living in different contexts and environments while helping out with whatever needs to be done. I'm happy to share knowledge, experiences, perspectives, and good times! I consider myself to be open minded, adaptable, diligent, and hardworking. I like to establish and stick to a routine in order to get settled in a new place

Right now, I'm interested in staying in a culturally vibrant urban area, as my I spend most of my time in the country side. I would also like the ability to work between 5-20 hours a week on my computer (though this is flexible).

Some other interests/hobbies of mine include hiking, camping, music (playing & listening), meaningful conversations, playing board games, mindfulness, nature based spirituality/wisdom traditions, cooking/eating, ecology, and anthropology.
