Descripción

I am a mindful traveler, whose thirst for experience, adventure, and knowledge is ever growing. I have been fortunate to be apart of the workaway community for 2 years now, and have loved every moment. It feels like a gift of learning that is unlike anything else, and throughout these environments I gained insight on where my path was leading me.
For most of my life I lived off the coast of Maine in a little town, but it took leaving to truly understand the impact of abundant nature. It never occurred to me that there were people out there who got to wake up each morning and work alongside the soil, the plants, crops and everywhere in between. So I’ve set out to capture my passion for herbal practices and agriculture to make my life's work meaningful. I want my hands in the Earth. Forever. It is what makes me the happiest, so for now I am looking to be apart of a community, family, or individuals who feel the same radiating love for the growth that nature provides.

Collectively all my micro skills have guided me to become more resilient and absorbent. I’ve dug holes in the scorching desert of Death Valley to prepare hugelkultur beds, weeded rows of carrots at the foot of an Oregon mountain, created walking trails and built raised wooden platforms for bell tents throughout the Talladega forest, picked and juiced apples on an orchard in Denmark, transplanted maple trees and practiced lasagna composting in Vermont, and aided in light construction of a yoga retreat in the French countryside.
I have found each of these experiences to be fulfilling in unique ways, and I continue to seek new skills to add to my tool belt, content in seeing where they’ll lead me.

I am open, to new ideas, new healing practices, new food, new ways of life, and that is something I plan to never lose. With this kind of mentality I have been able to create and find community in the unknown. I often find myself requiring a way to balance and recenter, a skill that never really occurred to me until being faced with the obstacles of traveling. The importance of this seems to grow with each day. Gaining a basic yoga practice allows me to slow down and listen to my body, to my breath, which gives me a sense of awareness. The simple joy of reading, hiking, napping in the hammock, story telling around the fire, dancing, cooking, and all the other things that naturally bring happiness remind me to stay present, because life moves fast.
So much to see in this crazy world, and so little time, but leaving room for growth and expansion is all I’m trying to do here.
