CURRENT MISSION

We are traveling in our truck from Alaska to...TBD!!!

ABOUT ME

Kristy and I recently packed up what belongings could fit in the back of our truck and drove out of Alaska. We have embarked on a 6 month road trip through Canada and the US. We hope to end up in SW Oregon in the Spring of 2012 where we would like to live as self-sufficiently as possible while connecting with a vibrant community. We are practicing living in the moment and learning how to be...

We also view this trip as a journey of awakening. We are practicing living in the moment, connecting with others, earth, yoga, chi kung, reiki and taking advantage of healing opportunities as they are available.

PHILOSOPHY

Life only happens in this moment.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
