Activities i am interested in:

Just left my home in New York, looking to connect with beautiful souls in beautiful places, experiencing new cultures and ways of life.

Description

I love to travel. I love connecting to people from all cultures and ways of life. I think it's amazing to view the world through a new lens. I'm also a writer and musician with a passion for learning to create in all mediums, and I love working on projects with other people. I grew up camping every summer in the wilderness with my parents and sisters and helping work on farms of my extended family. I'm especially great with animals and feel I can connect with them easily. I went to university in the city of Boston, and I missed being out in nature so much. I am looking to reconnect with the earth and learn new skills of sustainability, permaculture and self sufficiency. I currently work with youth in a trauma-informed environment and love learning and sharing wholistic healing methods.

More details about your skills

I have gone camping many times and know a lot of wilderness survival skills. I love taking care of animals, especially dogs, chickens, and alpacas. I was a cook for several years. My focus is mainly vegetarian cooking but I know how to cook meat as well.
I love gardening and want to learn more about farming.
I am good with technology, especially when it comes to cameras, photography, video, and editing.
I took a few years of Spanish in high school and college and would love to improve my skills! I am better at reading and writing in Spanish than in speaking, but would love to work on that.
I am great with kids. I grew up with two younger sisters and lots of younger cousins I helped take care of, as well as babysitting for neighbors. And for a few winters I worked as a kids' ski coach. (Nordic skiing)
I also used to teach music lessons and worked as an accompanist piano player to a symphony. I play the piano the best, but also can play guitar, cello, and a little bit of bass guitar.
Also, I am very into fitness and mindfulness. I know quite a bit about nutrition, flexibility training, meditation, and yoga. I recently did a few years of aerial acrobatics. it's one of my favorite things!
