CURRENT MISSION

We would love to host people and then soon hit the road and be surfers!

ABOUT ME

I am a fond of traveling, scrabble, meeting new folks, Helping the planet out, going to music festivals, sitting at a bar with old friends, gardening, talking politics, sustainability, alternative living, listening to music, cooking, making stuff, finding deals and learning. I am having an evolution of soul and I love to share what I have learned.

PHILOSOPHY

Shake yourself free from the manikin you create out of a false interpretation of what you do and what you feel, and you'll at once see that the manikin you make yourself is nothing at all like what you really are or what you really can be! ~ LUIGI PIRANDELLO, Ciascuno a Suo Modo (Each in His Own Way) 1924

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Making people aware of certain issues and community building!

Teach, Learn, Share

I could teach you how to train a dog, make beauty products, design on no budget and be thrifty. I have a lot of music to share, so bring a laptop or ipod and load up. I love to learn just about anything, especially cooking and I have a well equipped kitchen to get down in.
