One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Took a Habitat for Humanity trip to NYC to help build houses out of adobe for low income families. Was a real learning experience working on the construction of the houses, as well as living out in the desert hours away from any towns. The closest thing around was a bar, whose name in Spanish translated to "The Blood of Christ"

Was in awe of the Earthships we saw out there - http://earthship.com
There are made out of recycled material and adobe mud and completely self sustaining, while beautifully structured.

Countries I’ve Visited

Canada, Ecuador, England, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Spain
