Open-minded, curious, creative, ambitious, slow pace of life. I think both of us have something special we can offer each other :)

Light seeker, O Midnight creeper,
What makes thy soul burst wild?
You wander far and wander long
With no sense of the time

Our journey strays off into dreams
With visions of something new
We ask these places on the way
What wisdom they once knew

These lands are strange and new to us
But sometimes they will have
A couch and friendly souls to share
Some good times and long laughs

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Lived off the grid in BC, Canada, drinking water from the lake, foraging food, learning about First Nations culture. Learning to live simply!
