Description

Currently in Tulum, Mexico. It's exciting to see lots of other people who are into what I love to do. This includes gardening, permaculture, being in Nature, manual moving-your-body work, holistic health living, growing food and using self-sufficient means to thrive.

Clean, nutritious food and the soil it's grown in is a passion of mine. You will find me in my back yard garden, digging through dirt to plant things.

I freelance video edit (luckily, it's work that permits mobility). Three years ago, for 6 months my then16 year old son and I homeschooled and travelled through Mexico, Costa Rica and Nicaragua .

I have taught yoga for 7 years. I love to help others learn how to breathe and let go as they can. Hot yoga is my favorite.

I grew up in New York City, and am happiest away from gridlock.

I love meeting new people, speaking Spanish, helping in any way I can, and learning learning learning.

More details about your skills

I've been tending a front and back yard garden for a while now. Currently growing a variety of vegetables and fruit. I live in coastal North Carolina where everything is sand, so when I started the garden I laid down a foot of wood chips and went from there.

I have edited video for 25 years, mostly with Final Cut Pro. I'm 80% fluent in Spanish. I'm great with babies and kids. An upbeat people person. I love to help where help is needed. And to connect with others who like meeting new people and learning about different cultures. I have a B.A. in Anthropology from Barnard College in NYC.

I'm especially interested in learning while doing in the fields of permaculture, alternative energy and building materials, among many others.

I would love to learn swing dancing, tango, and currently play African djembe drums with a group.
