Description

October 2023 – August 2024: Looking for an opportunity to learn and help with animal welfare, organic farming, or sustainability projects. I'm authorized to work in the US and interested in a long-term commitment.

═════ ✥.❖.✥ ═════

Born and raised in Ukraine, I spent the past eight years looking for freedom in unlikely places like Los Angeles, Miami, and New York. On February 24, 2022, my soul left my body and returned home. After over a year of agony, trying to help from a distance as much as I could, I finally got my paperwork sorted out and followed. Spending this summer in Ukraine, reuniting with family, and volunteering has given me a lot of insights and turned my world upside down.

I've been a writer/journalist/content creator/website designer/you name it for the past 10 years. Now, I'm rediscovering myself and my place in this world. I want to find a way to create a sustainable living and help others.

A woman I met in Ukraine, an NGO founder and a total badass, said something that really stuck with me:

If you can't change the system, build your own.

And that is my current focus. I want to learn how to live off-grid and off-land to build a holistic living center focused on trauma healing, sustainability, and zero-waste principles.

I'm always seeking and building genuine friendships. Modern society dramatically overvalues material possessions and social status and tragically undermines the only thing that truly matters – connection.

Dogs are my biggest source of joy in this life!
