I've lived in the States my entire life and I'm in desperate need of some culture. I'm a single mama whose soul belongs in the outdoors. Avid reader, martial artista, trail hiker/runner, and eager learner of homesteading and bushcraft skills. Cherish the old ways of the world before technology consumed our existence. Appreciate fellow academics as I am finishing up my PhD and think this dissertation may end me. Would love to learn about other experiences outside what seems like my sheltered American existence!
