    Description

    I live with my girlfriend and animals on a 2.5 acre property just an hour outside the hustle and bustle of Las Vegas, NV. I have 2 dogs, 3 cats, fish, turtles, and chickens that provide fresh eggs most days. I live 100% off grid with renewable energy. I love creating, building, fixing things up. I enjoy eating healthy meals from organic foods. I have many projects including planting, irrigation, rock walls for raised gardens, painting, earthbag benches, and more. I like sharing my knowledge of building methods with people eager to learn or experience work away in my area. This is a beautiful place to go to hot springs, hiking, mtn biking, or just seeing the desert for its natural beauty.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    This is a beautiful place to experience just taking walks and looking at the natural beauty of the desert. Sleeping under the stars with tremendous clarity that touches our heart and souls. Wonderful place for spiritual growth. Learning is always accomplished going to different places and with all the different construction projects around here there are no shortages for that experience.

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    On your time off, you can relax, go hiking, I have bikes for riding or bring your own, hot springs (30 minute drive), sightseeing through Death Valley (1.5 hour drive), Lake Mead lake is 2 hrs away, Vegas is 1 hour away with vast areas to go.

    I have vehicles to take anyone to certain places based on our planning for outings.
    I believe in treating people as you want to be treated. I expect everyone to clean up after themselves or designate different chores for every individual they are okay with. Just as you would in any community living. I live drama free and expect just that.
