CURRENT MISSION

Planning our 3 month trip through Europe: July - October 2014 !!!

ABOUT ME

We are a couple, Leticia and Ryan, who together have spent the last 4 years traveling through Latin America documenting sustainable communities and initiatives with our project http://comuntierra.org. We live in a beautiful, colorfully painted motorhome, named Minhoca, which means Earthworm in portuguese. We see the eco-nomadic lifestyle as an important way to travel, learn new skills, and share experiences with local communities around the world.

We are both artists, and feel the arts are hugely important both in personal development and as significant social indicators.

PHILOSOPHY

Follow your bliss! Be the change you wish to see in the world!
