About Me

I love what I do, which is the marketing for a Permaculture Education center in Portugal. I'm doing that remotely, among other things, while I wait to go back this summer. It's not always easy, being that for the last 2 years I've been working in exchange for things - trying to make the gift economy work for myself which it has been for the most part. I was in the travel industry in Germany before this. And prior to that I was in between Vienna and Hong Kong.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Spent 6 months working and learning at an off-grid Permaculture Education Center in Portugal in 2019. Farmed for 3 months in the Algarve and Sintra in 2018. The Rainforest World Music Festival 2013 in Kuching, and an excursion to hike a mountain on the border of Indonesia was serendipitous.

Teach, Learn, Share

I've travelled Europe, know quite a bit about the organic farming communities in Portugal, namely the Sintra area, and can share stories. It's interesting to get-to-know friends' cherished family recipes and I'd love to hear and discover the stories behind yours, also I've recently been getting into cooking and baking.
