Description

I love playing cello, reading, cooking, and farms! I've played cello since I was nine, and love playing in orchestras and chamber groups. My favorite authors are Charlotte Bronte, Vladimir Nabokov, and Sarah J. Maas. I grew up in a food loving household, so cooking and baking are in my blood. I love making cakes, tiramisu, and soups. I love the idea of growing my own vegetables and having a farm with cattle, goats, and chickens, and I'm hoping to get more into farm life this year!

More details about your skills

I grew up in New York City, and lived quite happily there, until age 13 when my mom, a lover of all things Iberian, decided to move to a tiny village in Andalucia so I could attend the local public school and learn Spanish. After six months, we moved to Madrid. Two years later when we didn’t return to the US as promised, I convinced my parents to let me study in France and live with a host family. I was 15, it was my critical junior year of high school and many people questioned whether I could handle it, but I trusted that I would figure it out. I learned French by writing history papers and studying Baudelaire, along with a daily dose of girl gossip, and I loved it. After spending my senior year in the US with my grandma, I lived in London as part of my freshman year at Florida State University, adding yet another culture to my nomadic existence. At least my classes were in English! I completed one semester at King's College London this past fall, before deciding to take a semester off to figure out my next steps.
I will be in Israel until the end of May, where I want to learn more about Judaism and spirituality, as well as learn how life is lived here. I am good with working outdoors and farming, as well as little kids, writing, kitchen work (cooking and baking), and languages!

What else ...

I love making music, so anything involving piano, cello, or just listening to classical music is amazing. I also enjoy board games, camping, star-gazing, and anything involving the outdoors.
I am up for anything, love a challenge, and would love to help out in any way that I can. I can also bring to the table what I've learned in the many places I've lived, and show how other cultures go about life.
