Travel information

I am currently

Description

I'm an intensely curious and creative person. I'm motivated by a desire to step away from being in the city and surrounded by so much noise and technology for a welcome break. I feel most myself when I'm surrounded by trees and animals. I'm interested in learning more practical skills to live a more self-sufficient lifestyle. As an Artist, I enjoy painting, drawing, writing, embroidery, and tattooing- but I'm always interested in creative pursuits.

I'd also love the opportunity to become more physically active and work with my hands, as well as to connect with some friendly strangers. I am respectful of others' spaces and time and I'm a very hard worker. I believe in kindness above all else.

More details about your skills

I have some amateur experience with house painting, am comfortable using drills/tools, but would definitely like to learn more.
I am a self-taught artist with a sharp creative eye.
I am very comfortable caring for animals, and have cared for sick animals and administered injections and oral medications.
I have a small, modest garden on my balcony so I know some of the basics, though I'd love the opportunity to expand my knowledge in that area.
