Description
Hi, I'm Ricky!
I'm a 27-year-old theatre student from the U.S., passionate about storytelling, community, and personal growth. While I love the world of performance, I'm also drawn to experiences that ground me—learning sustainable living, working with my hands, and reconnecting with nature away from constant screens and city noise.
I have experience working on several permaculture farms, where I learned about regenerative agriculture, composting, and sustainable food systems. I also have a deep love for cooking and enjoy making meals that bring people together. I was vegan for eight years, so I have plenty of experience with plant-based cooking and love experimenting with fresh, seasonal ingredients. Whether it’s preparing meals, working in the garden, or helping with general maintenance, I’m eager to contribute and continue learning.
I'm looking to immerse myself in a community that values collaboration, self-sufficiency, and shared responsibility. I thrive in environments where people support each other, exchange ideas, and work toward a common goal. For me, this isn’t just about travel—it’s about living intentionally, learning new skills, and growing alongside like-minded people.
Looking forward to the journey ahead!

More details about your skills
I’ve dedicated a big part of my life to the arts—I sing, act, write, play guitar, and more. Outside of that, I’m a clear communicator and work well within large projects and teams. I also have hands-on experience with woodshop from building theatre sets, farming vegetables and fruit, and caring for animals like chickens and goats. I’m a certified personal trainer and very athletic, so I’m comfortable with physically demanding tasks and staying active throughout the day.
