~ESPANOL ABAJO~

I was born in Ecuador but quickly uprooted to move to the United States. I am now living in Detroit, working on a collective urban homesteading project called Minga: Detroit along with two of my best friends.
Our home and garden are dedicated to reviving the tradition of Andean "mingas", collective work parties for the communal good. I am focusing on starting up our family garden and we hope to become a self sufficient and off grid homestead in the near future.

Yo me concentro en establecer nuestra huerta para poder ser auto-suficientes muy pronto.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have been a solo backpacker for some trips throughout Latin America. Along the way I met some of the most amazing people that have welcomed me into their family, and Ive been able to work in amazing farms and communities.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to learn about farming, gardening initiatives and projects in your community
I can share information about how to get involved in urban farming in NYC (hometown) and give you tours of my favorite farms and gardens in Detroit.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love to cook so I am always down to share a meal. If you are interested in farming, I believe in seed sharing as a token of appreciation.
