" Been living pretty simple and now that its worming up I want to ride my bike more. I'm looking for a host to stay with in southern oregon so i can plan a multi day trip on my bk. I have a really nice bed and can host, my house is awesome. i live with my girlfriend and we are pretty zen around here.
I'm a Mount Shasta native since y2000 and always going back.
This summer I was part of a bee keeping school. I woofed/work traded. I became nomadic, traveled around mount shasta, the California and Oregon coast. camp fires on mount shasta with people from all over the world has changed my world. I see things anew now. I've had mystical experiences all over the magical land of shasta. I love Soul Connections and grew up close with the family who owns it.I'm in love with Berryvale; I'm all about health food. and I'm interested in Tao energy work, massage, meridians, metaphysics, holistic health, acupressure, reflexology, Reiki,
