I'm Annie. For the past 5 summers I've been volunteering and also working for a meditation retreat center - mainly helping to manage the retreat kitchen. In that time - I've taken up an interest to further study meditation, traditional healing modalities, the natural world, sustainable food and community systems - and have traveled in the fall / winter / spring to different parts of the country to work and visit friends and family.

Hey y’all! So a little update many years later - have still been cooking and traveling and adding in some farming things like that since I wrote this profile. I now work remotely and am usually traveling with my fur babes to study for some intensives (NOW the furbabes stay with their auntie and uncle so just human traveling) and see some friends and explore healing modalities. I love to meet people - i love to share laughter and stories and journeys when is right to do.

Let me know if you have any questions!

*Update* traveling electrical apprenticeship and house painting added to the mix! Hiking fun yay! Learning the fascinating bits of new places

Traveled to: many places in the States, the Hawaiian islands, Thailand (mostly northern), France, Denmark, Sweden, England
