    Travelling

  • Description

    I am on a 3 month long journey in Mexico (mostly Oaxaca it seems !)

    During my trip so far, I have experienced my first 10-day vipassana sit in San Bartolo, studied Spanish at La Guarida for 2 weeks, ventured to the beach of Zipolite & the mountains of San Jose del Pacifico. For the last 8 years I have been working on small-scale farms & it would be so gratifying & grounding for me to experience the farming in Mexico. I also would really love to be around new friends I can practice Spanish with!

    I’m happy to help wherever needed. Thank you :)

  • More details about your skills

    I’ve been a farmer for 5 years— every season I’ve learned so many new things. As a farmer, I’m adaptable, attentive, hardworking, and happiest when i’m working with things that are alive. I’ve also worked for several years as a dog-sitter and walker, not including my childhood of taking care of my two golden retrievers. I’m a lover of plants and animals. Since childhood I’ve been particularly fascinated by reptiles and amphibians. In general, I’m courteous, curious and innovative. It’s important to me to bring a good spirit to whatever I do.

  • What else ...

    I’m an avid hammocker, intense dog-lover, very eager to learn Spanish, and have a deep-seated feeling for social justice. I like to drink beer and wine, to try new food, and to explore :)
