Description

Hi, I am a recently retired attorney looking to reconnect to a more natural lifestyle. I am specifically hoping to learn new skills in farming/gardening, infrastructure, and community living.

A little about me: I am very laid-back. I work well with others and I am happy following instructions. It's good to be guided when trying something for the first time. I also enjoy routine labor. It would be great to be around pets or farm animals. My personal interests include world history and etymology. In terms of my diet, it's vegetarian.

More details about my language interests
I would like to restore my Spanish skills which used to be stronger when I studied abroad in Puerto Rico. I am an etymology nerd who loves studying word origins.
