******* IMPORTANT note: ----->NO LAST MINUTE REQUESTS******* **** Anyone wanting to surf here needs to send me a request at least 4 days before they want to arrive***** Any requests that aren't at least 4 days before will 99.9999% chance of being refused.***

I work at home and to accommodate guests, I need to re-arrange things, etc.

I paint, draw and make jewelry, I love carving things and I can repair anything. I read lots, I don't like TV at all, don't smoke...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've lived (Not just visited) in three deserts, nine countries, twelve US states and in a cave.

I've dug quartz crystals straight out of the ground, fed kittens with a bottle, been to Grateful Dead concerts (I was really young then), seen the sun rise from many horizons and eaten pie.

Life is good.
