California is my home, the sierra, the tahoe wilderness, and my pooch are some of favorite comforts.
I have a love for traveling by myself and discovering people and new places.
I love meeting local people and learning about cultures and sharing ideas, food, love, and literature, and music.

I love music, asia, spirituality, hiking in the mountains and enjoy cooking for people, and consider myself fluent in cooking in many styles but a most favorite of mine is blending a melange of South Indian and Arab/Leb/Greek/Moroccan/Mex influences.
I tasted moroccan chai for the first time and it was divine.

I sell japanese tea at koyoteacompany.bigcartel.com
its high quality small farm japanese tea.
we use a free site to reduce costs. we sell it more for the love
and awareness of high quality pesticide free green tea from Kyoto

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Spiritual, Reggae, Classical, Electro- Funk, and whatever friends play
Movies: I have literally watched hordes of movies, especially foreign films, japanese, etc. But have taken a break from all screen forms of entertainment.
Books; I read when I am inspired, I like short stories, westerns, and renew my thoughts every year with new literature. (No sci-fi).
For the most part I prefer to be outdoors to any of these three activities or talk or chat or lit a bon fire or see the ocean.
