poetess, freelance writer, digital nomad, DJ, musician, herbalist, and eternally learning human.
currently: I'm working on my second book ("Earth + Eye"), learning about land stewardship through farm work, rock climbing, hiking, creating medicine & jewelry, and exploring with my adventure-loving partner in the PNW. we strive to use our presence as brown POC nomads to establish + celebrate equity in the outdoors and responsibly restore the wild to its original clean, loving, and safe landscape.
in previous chapters, I've been an English teacher in North Viet Nam, MFA Creative Writing student at the University of South Florida, religion-equality advocacy intern in Washington D.C., and many other characters I'm grateful to have played.
I am dwelling in gratitude for this precious life, chances to explore human potential, participate in communities, share kindness & inspiration, and wander the wild planet. I thank you for letting me walk with you in this divine earth experience!

I'm here sharing the words that come to mind when I look around & look within, hopeful they'll offer you something inspiring or distracting from the darkness. I'm deeply grateful to our mother earth, and her mountains, forests, wildflowers, waters, and creatures - my greatest inspirations. with her guidance, I dream of helping us all feel emotion deeply, begin to heal, create, and see beauty in all things, little & great.

"what's a wanderling?"
"faren" in gaelic means "the one who wanders" - the namesake of this blog & an approach to living.
I've been wandering the PNW (and beyond); everywhere is my favorite and everywhere feels like home.
I've changed my mind & goals about a great many things, often accompanied by anxiety and fear. but nature and god have helped me embrace my evolving immortal soul, a piece of the collective whole - now I wander happily between all the joys that life offers, thriving on the sorrows just as much, and never staying in one place for too long. and of course, writing about what I feel & learn along the way, creating & unearthing my truest self.
"not all who wander are lost" - j.r.r. tolkien
