    Description

    Hello, my name is Alia. I live in the Mesa of Taos New Mexico, surrounded by sage brush and expansive views. Big skyes and breathtaking sunsets and moon rises. I live in a little cabin with my cat and two dogs, and I am currently building my larger home which is an earthbag roundhouse, that I am trying to get it closed in before winter.

    Please excuse my slow reply… I don’t check this too often and I have never been busier in my life.
