I'm in my late-twenties, living in Philadelphia, I love Paris and lived there last year. I'm in a master's program at UPenn and I study permaculture. My dream is to own (co-operatively) and run a permaculture teaching farm (or maybe one on each of five different continents so I can travel?!).

I brew kombucha and water kefir at home and I'm always interested in more homesteading techniques I can apply to my life even though I currently live in the city.

I have a 4-year old mini dachshund named Ophie (short for Ophanim, a class of Angels) and I love, love, love him and snuggling is our favorite thing to do besides laying and playing in the summer sunshine.

I love all kinds of crafts, but at the top of my list, currently are:

Anything planner related, including making (kawaii cabochon) resin charms, using my Cricut Explore to make dividers, and Project Life journaling cards, etc. to decorate my Kikki K A5 Gold Time Planner, making stickers, embossing.

Home decorating, painting walls with stencils, or otherwise creatively, using my new Critter Spray gun, painting furniture, fixing furniture

Sewing, painting fabric, making pillows.

The Walking Dead House of Cards The Leftovers Transparent Law & Order: SVU True Blood (worst series finale EVER--I cried) Glee (not the current season, it's my very guilty pleasure) Orange is the New Black

The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood Sookie Stackhouse Novels Harry Potter other guilty pleasure reading A Catcher in the Rye

Reptiles (including fish and frogs even if they're "cute") Slimy things (snails, slugs, oysters) Non-caffeinated Tea or decaf coffee
