What are you expecting tonight?
You did not like this speech at all.
Tell me why.
I live in the Hudson Valley, New York, and I currently work in finance in civil service, local government.
At the time of this story, I was in a very different part of my life, coming off of living out in the woods and working on farming and permaculture.
Right after college, I was really inspired by the movie Into the Wild to take my backpack and go out into like the wilderness of the West, basically.
And I went to Colorado and California with just my backpack.
farms or like off-grid permaculture communities at first woofing a worldwide opportunity for organic farmers or on organic farms and so I was like woofing for a little bit and my goal was to help the environment and to become as sustainable as possible.
I ended up also finding that like Buddhist retreat centers or like yoga ashrams were some of the places that would have a little garden that need attended.
And so they would let you stay there and sort of do like a live work experience.
So I had gone into that, into the wild experience with certain ideas in mind.
