Travel information

I am currently

Description

I'm a farmer, musician, videographer, and photographer. I graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology from University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. I've lived in Hawaii for the past 7 years cultivating my crafts. I have almost a decade of farming experience specifically in tropical and subtropical climates with a vast variety of fruit trees, vegetables, and herbs. I am a singer songwriter, recording artist, and multi-instrumentalist. I'm also a video producer and photographer. More detailed skills are provided below but I'd love to help out with farm projects. I lived on a tropical island for years and built housing as well as kitchen and bathroom facilities. I'm currently employed by an herbal tea farm as well as self employed with my music and video production business. I'm happy to bring my skills and collaborate. It's my deep wish to connect with caretakers of the land and local communities.

I have experience with a variety of fruit trees, vegetables, and herb:
Mango, Papaya, Banana, Avocado, Jackfruit, Cacao, Lychee, Rambutan, Dragon Fruit, Coconut, Mountain Apple, BreadFruit, Guava, Neem, Rolinia, Egg fruit, Starfruit, Noni, Chikoo Sapote, Soursop, Loquat, Coffee, Sugar Cane, Peppers, Okra, Sweet Potato, Cassava, Taro, Kale, Dill, Carrots, Beets, and herbs including Tulsi, Lemon Balm, Mint, Ashwagandha, Turmeric, Ginger, Kava, Comfrey, Moringa, and more.
