Description

2025 Revision
**My youngest started college and is on her own for the first time and doesn't want me to go far again. I'm not well travelled in the Bay Area and i still want to grow food and build projects and learn how to take care of animals and experience different environments....
* After a year and a half volunteering in the rural desert I am so ready for a change in climate whether it be forest, swamp, or ocean. The 3 moons project introduced me to power tools, sustainable gardening, composting, and a healthier way of eating. I worked my ass off , literally, because I weighed 220 in February 2023 and 134 in September 2024.
For as long as I can remember I’ve wanted to travel to Tibet, I must’ve read about it in school or or Eddie Murphy’s movie Golden Child might’ve inspired my interest but for years Ive said that when I turn 70 I’m gonna shave my head and stay at a monastery with monks somewhere and take a vow of silence for a week kinda jokingly. I still want to travel to all 50 states and my first Workaway adventure lasted longer than I anticipated because I was needed and I realized I’m not good at goodbyes which is something I forgot happens when you’re traveling- so I just remind myself that I’ll get to say hello again I’m the future of my journey. I want to infuse myself with high vibrational earth conscious individuals and connect with the land and it’s history. I want to travel to places where I can feel the spirits of past and present by grounding and honoring nature.

EcoVillages, Hippie Communes, Sustainable and
Off-grid Communities, Wildlife Conservation and Reserves
So..it's time for me to do what I’ve been talking about doing for the past 20 years and start this next chapter of my life as a globe trekker, As an only child I knew I had to be the dutiful daughter and stay to take care of my elderly parents who have been gone now for a couple of years which during that time my children have revolted against me and decided to take care of themselves (they’re of age mostly) so I consider myself a divorcee of motherhood. I have always threatened to walk out the door with nothing but the clothes on my back when I turned 51 and whoever wants to follow me were welcomed to, but why wait 4 more years? I’ve been a Mom for over half of my life and I want to discover who else I’m supposed to be. I’ve always had the desire to see what the rest of the world looks like and experience what it takes to survive off the land. I want to prove that we are designed to survive this planet with whatever talents or gifts we’re allotted in this life. I want to be able to say I’ve known this elephant, tiger, or gorilla for 20 years. I want to immerse myself in a vow of silence at a real monastery for a week after shaving my head bald when I’m 70. I want to utilize my enthusiasm for primitive technology to build upon my sustainable living skillset. I want to surround myself with the kind of people I wish to be who can inspire me to be a better human. So, my plan is to convert my SUV into a micro camper for me and my dog and hit the road. I want to embrace a minimalist lifestyle while showing others that it’s not always about the acquisition of material possessions. I have no desire nor the right to “own” property/ land that was attained through genocide. With that being said, I’m almost certain foreclosure of my home is within the near future and I am not actively pursuing my father’s inheritance. I see this as a way of charting the path to reinvent myself by doing a lil demolition before the re-build. So, I’d like to introduce this version of myself hoping an invitation to stay and visit will make an even better one.
*UPDATE 9/23/21...

so, my house foreclosed and to my understanding I have 90 days..I am in the market for some type of mobile home for me to either buy or finish the build out on while I figure out what to take,store,or trash. I'm so glad I was able to renew my workaway for back up coz ever since my folks died I feel like I lost my safety net.

Facts: mother of 4 now dog mom of 1. In previous lives I worked in the medical field as well as the food and beverage industry. I take pride in my cleaning abilities to make a kitchen or bathroom shine. I'm good with a rake and lawnmower. DIY life and van life along with off grid tiny home life and sustainability along with wild life conservation have been the ideas I want to experience since I was a kid. I always knew when my parents died I would travel.
