About Me:
Just returned to the US after 17 years abroad (Spain, Peru and parts of Asia). Freelance Spanish-English translator. Have a PDC certificate (Bihar, India) but little to no practical experience or application. I've just moved to Phoenix and in this stage of my life, my intention is to learn the skills and tools to be in a more harmonious relationship with my food and my environment. I have an empty yard and want to do some urban farming, applying as many permaculture principles to my home and land as possible.
