About Me

I have been inspired by traveling since my first road trip at 16. I left the east coast with $10 and headed towards Colorado. When I ran out of gas I held up a cardboard sign and worked for a local until I had enough money for gas and food. I haven't stopped moving since, but did have a home base a lot of the time. I really enjoy going to other countries and really experiencing the culture. I like to meet new people and I love a good story. I have hosted and have been hosted many times and have always had great experiences. It was on an account with my partner at the time hence the limited history. So here we go on my own. UPDATE!! I have now relocated to a beautiful place on the river in the San Juan mountains of Colorado. I look forward to meeting you.

Music, Movies, and Books

Tom Robbins is my favorite author. I love live music and can't stop from dancing to funk. Also like folk, bluegrass, reggae, world and am open minded. I ddid practice playing the banjo for a bit. But left it on an Island I lived on, St. Kitts.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I left Colorado headed east and in eight months returned from the west, circumnavigating the globe.

Teach, Learn, Share

I just did an apprenticeship building Econests, a timber frame home with rammed clay and straw walls. I am driven by wood working. I can't help but teach and have a lot to still learn.
I have also taught many people around the world how to make wallets out of discarded tetrapak containers. It has helped me travel the world.
I studied Ashtanga yoga in India and have been teaching for 9 years on and off.
Am teaching currently in a heated studio in Telluride, Colorado.
