Description
I am a mother, wife, entrepreneur, and sustainability advocate. My goal is to create a more balanced and sustainable lifestyle for my family by living more off the grid. I run my own business which has allowed me more flexibility to spend more time with my children, who are now young adults while pursuing my passions of being around animals, self-sufficiency, gardening, and environmental stewardship. My dream is to one day live completely off the land, growing all of my own food and living in harmony with nature. I strive every day to build a better world for future generations by making small but meaningful changes in my own life.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We live 12 minutes to the beach in Malibu California and 39 minutes to downtown LA, we are close to Museums and natural beauty. Living on a rural farm with extraordinary resources to learn about our culture between rural and City living. We have hiking trails on our property, paddle boards, kayaks, and bicycles. I love cooking organic vegan meals although my husband and sons are not vegetarians. I have a 32-year-old son who had a tragic accident 3 years ago and suffers from a Severe Traumatic Brain Injury, he is permanently handicapped. He was thought to stay in a vegetative state for the rest of his life and is now walking, talking, kayaking, riding horses, and riding a tricycle. I believe in the strength of our mind and would love to share and receive a little help on our farm and personal life. German, Spanish, French, and English are spoken languages in our household. My husband speaks German and Spanish and my Sons and I speak French, we all speak English of course.
