Description
I am a vagabond poet and artist. Been traveling around for over a decade now, mostly in the US, now I'm excited to discover how other parts of the world function. In this uncertain future, I believe that we must bolster and build parallel systems. I am most interested by projects of self-sufficiency and self-discovery. And, while I'm doing this, even if I can only help in just the smallest ways, I will feel fulfilled. I look forward to meeting you.

More details about your skills
Worked in restaurants most of my life, so I'm pretty good at preparing meals and cleaning up a space. I have volunteered with many farms and gardens during my travels and it has made me very comfortable working in soil, and around animals. I have also assisted in the renovation of various houses, learning some basic carpentry, masonry and painting skills. I've worked with horses and wolfdogs. I've done some caregiving for an Alzheimer's patient. I've also done wildlife surveys which required some tree climbing using harnesses and other tree entry apparatus. I also write and do computer stuff.

Ron and Chantal are great hosts. Ron is pretty funny and Chantal is so welcoming. We clicked pretty well and I was given much latitude to use my own judgement in completing tasks. A lovely house in a scenic part of the country with some lovely animals to hang out with. Everyone has their own personality, even if the sheep are pretty standoffish.… read more

Josh is a great guy. A good worker who is intent on helping as much as he can. He is very adaptable and keen to take on any task you give him. A lot of the work here was outdoor and physical but no problem to Josh. Inside the house Josh proved to be very good at painting and cooking. He is a smart respectful guy who I'd recommend to other hosts… read more

I enjoyed staying at Sandford's place. While I was there, I helped to clear out a loads of invasives, planted a couple trees, and moved around some stones. I also got to spend most of my days in a pleasant little woods behind his and his neighbor's house. Sandford is a very interesting character, so much information that it bubbles over and we… read more

Kevin and I grew to be great friends, and his son is quite the rambunctious little rascal. I spent three months living out of his barn. At first it was kind of rough, there is a surprising amount of traffic on his road, and his neighbor's dogs kept me up as well. Eventually though I got used to it, and there is plenty of space on his land to set… read more

I heartily enjoyed my stay with Susan. Her swanky fifth wheel was fully stocked with food and even had AC. The water was delicious. She consistently checked in with me about my needs and was even nice enough to shuttle me around to the places that I wanted to go see. She was very adamant in not letting me overwork and very aggressively making sure… read more

This will always be one of my favorite places to live. I stayed here for around two months back at the end of winter. The community of folk here are all so kind and compassionate. The cows in their Goshala were super sweet, and the monks are all friendly and helpful. Learning about their culture is fascinating and I feel very grateful for the… read more
