Description
Meridian (Mira) and Jared (Nova) are are life partners, travelers, and artists. We met 5 years ago when Nova traveled across America on his motorcycle, and I was preparing to travel across the country in the opposite direction in my converted minivan. We decided to travel together in the minivan, and spent a year on the road volunteering at hostels & farms, visiting friends and family, and exploring the country. Since then, we have traveled solo as well: myself across the US again, and Nova to India, Bali, and Thailand. We are currently preparing to travel to Costa Rica together.
We are seekers and explorers, and we're passionate about art and music, self development, cultivating community, yoga, dance, homesteading, and cooking. We own a business together, Wanderling Studio, in which we sell our collaborative art pieces that combine my visual art and Nova's poetry. We feel this is a big part of the medicine we have to offer the world, and we are excited to share what we are creating!
I (Mira) am from rural New Hampshire (USA) and am excited to explore more of the world outside my native country. I am a gentle soul, and am highly creative and empathic. My highest priorities in life are embodying wildness, compassion, and freedom. I enjoy the process of personal growth, and expanding beyond my comfort zones. Much of my energy goes toward creating mixed media art. I love being outside--especially near the ocean!
Nova is from urban California (USA) and has a wide variety of interests. He is a dancer, poet, yogi and dimensional drifter. He is kind and open, with an adventurous spirit. He is really excited about creating theraputic soundscapes, and offering sound baths as a form of healing. He is especially gifted at holding grounded emotional spaces, and cultivating community.

What else ...
We have a dream of living in a health conscious, eco-friendly community where we can live intimately with the land, raising children and growing community to have reverence for each other, and our Earthly home. Part of the inspiration for our trip is to visit and live in various communities, whether they be in the form of families, hostels, or retreat centers. We are curious about what makes a strong community thrive, and we seek to learn more about ourselves as we meet people from all over the world. Some values we want to cultivate (for ourselves, and the world) are creative and independent thinking, respect for and preservation of diversity, and to live in a way that is wild and free... a part of nature.
