ABOUT ME

Faery - She is an extrovert with a big open heart. She can softly open people up. She has travelled the world, on her own, a fair amount over the past 10 years. She is fruitful and generous of spirit; a sprightly faery.
Kristian - an introvert with beautiful contemplative philosophical qualities. A calming influence and makes anyone feel at ease within themselves and their surroundings.
We feel blessed by our beautiful planet and want to make our footprint as light as possible.

PHILOSOPHY

Kristian- Loving this planet despite and because of its prickles and japes.

Faery- Be the change you want to see in the world (Gandhi)
