Hey, I'm Isabella.
I'm multi-passionate and I pivot a lot. I'm also an existentialist, which means I think you don't discover your passion, you create it. Self-construction, not self-discovery.
So I learn about a topic when it becomes a problem. Then I turn it into a learning project and document it here. Right now, that's the cannabis plant, sustainable mobility, and the analog lifestyle.
Two problems I keep coming up against:
• How to learn anything without formal education. I've taught myself French and Russian. I've studied accelerated learning, digital minimalism, low carbon living, and ethical travel. Podcasts, books, and my own observations have taught me more, and far faster, than any classroom did.
• How to live car free in a place designed to make that nearly impossible. I live in a Utah suburb. I bike to work. I take the train into Salt Lake City. I'm learning what it feels like to move through a place without a metal box.
The method: encounter the problem, choose it, research it, build a project, experiment, document. Problem-centered learning. Repeat.
This blog is for people who learn by doing and want to live with less: less carbon, less distraction.
