Description

Hi! I am a laid-back person yet full of energy and love to laugh. I enjoy many things in life; meeting new people, listening to their stories, gardening, casual bicycle rides around town, and a nice book on a rainy day to name a few 🌞

I went to University and after trained others, implemented new software, and travelled for work. With that experience, I decided in 2017 to make a big change and pursue a semi-nomadic lifestyle. I started teaching English in Chile, but then found Workaway and was captivated by what people were doing to support themselves and their community in various ways.

The last nine years I have been fortunate enough to connect with some amazing folks, live and work in various places, and learn quite a few techniques implementing permaculture, animal care, market garden, and natural farming practices to the benefit of the land and the community around it. Mix that in with some minor construction, plenty of service gigs, and natural building and it truly has been an eye-opening experience and the cultural and information exchange has changed my life forever :)

It's been a few years since utilizing Workaway, but I'm excited to get back out now that I've found a wonderful home base that one day might need volunteers from Workaway as well! I now live in Minnesota(moved here March 2026 after growing microgreens and managing a few gardens for people in Montana for 4 years), started my own market garden(Check out the video - Thanks to many folks along the way 🌞), and bartend at a local distillery. I live with two friends that I met while living in Montana and we are building back up their grandma’s farm! They also have a private chef business(Field and Flour MN) and I assist as a server/bartender when needed as well as supply them with fresh food from the garden 🌻I do not have any social media but would be happy to connect you with a variety of references!

I'm really thankful to all I've met along this journey and I'm looking forward to learning from you too🌻🌞🤓🍻💜
