Description
Hello, I'm Jacob. I recently finished rowing across the Pacific Ocean from Washington State to Cairns, Australia. It sounds ridiculous, I know - my website is https://www.jacobadoram.com if you care to learn more. I was a pilot in the US Air Force, then decided I wasn't living the life I wanted to live. Since then I've been traveling, I rode my bicycle across the US, and I just completed the Pacific Row. The goal was (and still is) to learn more about myself and more about the natural world. So far it's working. I just finished my 200 hour yoga teacher training in Cusco, Peru. I'm now certified to teach Hatha/Vinyasa and Restorative yoga. I look forward to meeting you soon!

More details about your skills
I have a pretty well rounded background that should prove useful in a variety of projects. Things I've done: flown as a US Air Force fighter pilot, rode a bicycle across the USA, served as an officer in the military (Major), Eagle Scout, and most recently rowed across the Pacific Ocean. I've helped with building, farming, working with animals, etc. I get the job done as requested and with attention to detail. And now I can teach yoga!

I stayed for 6 weeks at this lovely retreat center. I helped with a variety of jobs including the garden/maintenance team and marketing/reception. Everyone here is welcoming, loving, and supportive. It's a wonderful place for new experiences (like Kirtans) and for personal growth and development. I couldn't have asked for a better opportunity to… read more

I spent 6 weeks here and had a fantastic time! I mainly did yard work, but also helped with some odd jobs around the house. Anna and Bo were very welcoming, understanding, supportive, and true pleasure getting to know. I lived in the teepee most of the time and was very comfortable. Anna even organized a birthday feast for me around the… read more

I spent nearly a month at the farm and had a great time. I learned quite a bit about sustainable farming and what it really takes to keep a farm such as this running properly. The work was rewarding and the accommodations are excellent. Mia and Ingmar are both very supportive and great to work with. I highly recommend it!

I spent 2 weeks here and met some great people from all over the world. I helped primarily with different types of wood work, which was a good experience. I also participated in some of the morning yoga sessions (Kundalini Yoga). It's a nice small town and a great area to explore. I'm looking forward to seeing the facility when it's fully up… read more
