Description

Hey there! 🩵🦋 I’m Jacob, and after graduating in Political Science and Philosophy and being heavily involved in community and environmental activism, I’ve been working and living in Canada for the last two years, sailing, tree planting, living on farms and intentional communities, working at hostels and working in child care as a nanny, counsellor and outdoor educator. I have a deep desire to explore both my internal and external world and have been enjoying soaking up every morsel of experience I can of this life so far! I love to learn and practise farming, permaculture and construction, as well as meeting and connecting deeply and authentically with new people, minds, languages, beliefs and countries. I find serving a community, and spending as much time deep in nature as possible deeply satisfying and peaceful. I am a warm, peaceful, positive and very enthusiastic person with a growth mindset. I am very dedicated and hardworking and I love to try new things, take on new challenges and am always ready to take accountability for mistakes so that I may grow from them. I'm happy to be imperfect! I love to learn what others have to share with me and happy to share myself and my knowledge with others too. I am very much a people person, as getting to know new people and support people is one of my favourite things about life. I am confident and outgoing, however, I enjoy time to myself as well. I am adaptable, dependable, and sensitive towards the needs and feelings of others. I would say I am very principled, and very intentionally live life in accordance with my values, which I also allow to change and grow in nuance as I move through life. More than anything though, I love people, authentic encounters and a good laugh!

I am utterly in love with the natural world and love to learn the language and distinct voice of nature in each country and region. I love mountains, camping, hiking and swimming in oceans and lakes. I am very content to just sit by some beauty for a long while and drink in the stillness.

Some of my interests include jiu jitsu, sailing, skateboarding, construction, wood carving, snowboarding, trees and plants, animals, climbing, acting and directing, jamming and playing music, dance, abstract expressionist painting, poetry, reading, Vipassana meditation and Hatha yoga. One day I'd like to go back to school to study psychotherapy and counselling, and start my own practise as well as intentional community/retreat and arts centre with my brothers and sisters!
