Travel information

I am currently

Description

The Sun is the root of most of my happiness and motivation. I've been on a spiritual journey since 2019, becoming one with self and grounded with the Earth. Everyday I wake is a day to seize, but that also looks different everyday; for me that it the best part of life! I have many hobbies and skills but the general theme of my life is to experience as much as I can in the best ways life has to offer, but also create opportunity for others to experience life in the best ways too!

I love cultivation and gardening, I am currently steward two gardens I built in Buffalo, NY grow zone 6a. I grew up in community gardens as a child and I've come back to my learnings and practices in adulthood. Cultivating life, honoring the cycles and seasons and soils is what I enjoy most these days which is why I've embarked on this season of world travel. It's winter in Buffalo right now, rightfully I've decided to follow the Sun go South!

More details about my language interests
I have practiced Spanish on and off since I was a child but now I really want to immerse in the diaspora of the language and build fluency and comfortability in deep conversation.

More details about your skills

My disciplines have brought me into a few different roles post university. I went to school for economics and business, and since leaving I have been a Tesla tech, recovery program manager, among, and retail sales among other things. In my own time I love volunteering, I often work with children and elders. I've also built a plant lifestyle brand, Bloom Matter Botanics. I landscape and garden in the urban city I settled in after college and came to know the community. I have skillsets practice in cannabis cultivation, permaculture, landscaping and urban farming. I genuinely love plants and am working toward my own property and piece of earth steward. I love to cook, and I have been vegetarian or the last 3 years, I frequently plant based meals over processed foods and I loved to grow my own food and support other local urban farmers. My personal endeavors have also encouraged other developed skills like photography and writing. I am originally from Brooklyn, New York. But I currently live upstate in Buffalo New York (grow zone 6a). Being in my mid twenties, I'm now ready to go on a travel journey, to share what I can in exchange for the best experiences!

What else ...

I played competitive volleyball throughout grade school and I STILL LOVE TO PLAY. I also really love to be outdoors, always under the Sun; I love hiking bike riding and I know how to swim. I practice yoga and meditate routinely, and really believe in the power of grounding self. As far as games, I'm pretty good at billiards and some American card games but I don't play games often. Music is Life!!! I can hold a note or two but I love to listen and hear all kinds of music. My dad is from Jamaica and I was raised respectively. I think being of Jamaican decent just comes with a general appreciation for Life, and I love to share that with others.
