Aloha/Hola!

 

My name is Jasmine, and I am a curious human who loves adventure. Discovering beautiful landscapes that make me stop and breathe deeply, doing the mental gymnastics of learning to converse in a new language, and immersing myself in different cultures are some of my favorite things on earth.

​

I occasionally do seasonal work—so far, 5 gorgeous summers working hard in the Alaskan wilds—to supplement my income (Coolworks.com is my favorite). I also love work-for-trade (Workaway.com is my favorite) to travel abroad cheaply!

Half of my family is from Cuba, and I'm very proud of my Cuban heritage. I've lived about equal amounts of my life in West Virginia, Arizona, Australia, and Hawai'i, and have recently put down roots in the mountains of North Carolina.

Nature is my favorite place to soak up beauty: wandering, surfing, hiking, and photography. I'm also a maniac for cooking, eating (snacks are of utmost importance!), writing, reading, gardening, and discovering new ways of financial freedom.

​

Mental health is another of my favorite topics: depression, social anxiety, CPTSD—I'm free to chat with you anytime about these things if you'd like to reach out.

 

Thank you for taking a moment to read my story. Have a beautiful day!
