Description

Hey there! My name is Andrew and I am from the Hudson River Valley, about 1 hour north of New York City. I grew up in the suburbs with two loving parents, two older siblings, three cats, and a golden retriever. After high school, I attended West Virginia University and studied Recreation, Parks, and Tourism Resources. In university I discovered a strong love for Mother Earth, live music, meaningful friendships, community, healthy whole foods and where they derive from, cooking, and road trips/traveling. After university, I did my first work exchange (WWOOF) on a small scale organic farm/bakery in Vermont. It was one of the most powerful and beautiful experiences of my life. Since then, I have been traveling, volunteering, and working seasonal jobs. Also, I recently travelled to India and completed my 200hr Yoga Teacher training with an emphasis in Hatha and Yin styles! I am extremely interested in learning more about organic farming, permaculture practices, living off the grid, self-sustainability, animal and livestock care, preserving/canning, sourdough bread making, foraging wild foods, mindful and respectful hunting/fishing, intentional community living, etc.
