Description
Born with a creative mind, and used to be quite prolific, sadly fading away in the recent years, but in the process of giving a resurrection kick to it.
Organized, discreet, polite, sporty, problem solver, curious, physically efficient, ...
I maintain a simple lifestyle, with low needs - been moving around since 2007 teaches to need little !
The ride is something unique to anyone, and shape every single day we have.
I do not fit in places where there is more concrete than green color covering the soil, nor in the crowd.
But where the birds sings shall tell me there is healthy life here!

Excellent experience, improving my cooking skills. Wonderful hosts, open, friendly, and always willing to help. Oxford is very conservative and picturesque.
You'll see me again...

David is the man to have around! He's always ready to help and is very proactive. He was good at doing outside work like shoveling, but also for housekeeping (cleaning) tasks.
Plus he's a good cook and makes good bread! ;)
We would recommend any time!

Just another top notch positive feedback for the collection!
Terrific place. Creativity came back to me within a day there.
Stayed nearly 4 weeks with the first early snow storms. Hard to dislike anything from there. Quietness, beauty, art possibilities, walkabouts,etc...
Thanks to Chris, Ken, the staff and volunteers.

It was a positive experience, no doubt.
