Hi my name is Andrea
I desire to coexist, collaborate and co-create with others who live by the Golden rule.
I love all sentient beings, nature, gardening, music, dance art creating upcycling.
And I love Jesus! I also embrace Buddhist traditions and practice beginner yoga.
I hope you will agree that we do not have to have the same faith to care for, respect and love one another.
I am a single mom to 2 grown children living independent lives.
Shortly after they flew the nest, I did as well!
Its amazing how much grocery money one can save when you’re not feeding your kids and all their friends anymore lol
this once small town girl decided to expand her horizons!
As a solo female traveler on a budget I began to explore volunteer and discover a whole new world. I saw and heard and tasted and felt things I never imagined!
I learned so much about myself and others. I could live 100 lives and never be bored traveling or making new friends around the world.

I just bought a little house in my hometown of Plainville Connecticut.
My intentions are to create a welcoming healing nurturing space to share with others.
It’s only three small bedrooms but there’s a full unfinished basement. there’s also a detached two car garage. ! I would like to turn into an artist studio and more living space.
