One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Feminist mountain farming in Ecuador, hiking with pups, building houses. Sleeping next to waterfalls, hitchiking around Iceland, camping in the middle of mountains.

Teach, Learn, Share

Bookbinding, zine-making! I'm involved in the art/craft & feminist communities in toronto & can give you all sorts of info about related things.

Also: I've done a lot of WWOOFing (volunteering on organic farms) which I think goes hand in hand with CS, and I'd love to share resources and tips with new people.
