Algo más...

early 2024 update;

-I had to return to conventional work, since just before the corona-period lockdowns until early 2023..

This included remote-based Digital Nomad over the past couple of years, (so I was not able to utilize the previous skillsets I had acquired in the permaculture world, nor to increase my experiences over that time..

However I was able to keep improving my dietary changes, and I am getting closer and closer to fruitarian/raw vegan style.. not there yet, maybe in the next year or two :-) )

-During 2023 I set off on some more 'adventures', and participated in natural building (strawbale/clay/lime) and other permaculture projects.


On top of my diet changes over the past 5 years, I also have deep experience with various meditation techniques, some of which are now in use on a daily basis.

I also have considerable understanding of the various many permaculture concepts and methods;
1 plant the water
2 grow the soil
3 put in the seeds and seedlings
=enjoy the abundance :-)))
