Description
Hi! My name is Jackie and I'm from California, USA and I've been living in Vietnam for 5 years while also traveling some parts of the world. I'm a passionate traveler and worker with a diverse background in teaching, farming, and wellness. My journey of travelling and working has given me great insight and purpose into everything I do. I don't like to be defined by a career or living situation, rather I like to be free while living with intention :)
I have experience in small-scale farming using permaculture principles, herbalism, farmer's markets, and farm-to-table cooking. I love working with the land and cultivating the connection between food, health, and sustainability.
Movement and wellness are also a big part of my life. I have taught Pilates, yoga, and aerial sports, and I'm a massage therapist in Thai and western modalities.
I thrive most in nature when living off the land and working in community with others. I feel it's my deepest purpose to work closely with nature, helping along the ecological process of our beautiful home :)
Other things that make me feel alive: dance, cooking delicious meals and picking ingredients, qigong, music festivals, poetry & linguistics, reading, cycling, riding motorcycles! -

More details about your skills
I've been studying and practcing yoga for more than a decade and Pilates for 4 years. I began training in pole sport 6 years ago and I started teaching in 2022. I'm certified in 300+ hours of Thai Massage and traditional bodywork.
I worked for 1 year on an organic vegetable farm in Northern California where I managed the nursery, watering systems, field work, and harvesting. I've also helped in other permaculture settings through workaway over the years.
I am very passionate about healthy food and cooking. I love sharing recipes and cooking delicious vegetarian and gluten-free food for others!
I am a quick learner and very adaptable to my environment, so I am prepared to do any and all types of work. -
