About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Hola! I can host people from different countries every other weekend when I don't have my kids. I am a researcher and work with composting and food sustainability. Wanting to work with the development of intentional communities in PR. You can read my inspirational dream: https://bit.ly/2HnDoVn.

Like to meet new travelers and have good conversations, would like to host more yet my schedule is kind of crazy, yet if you come to PR let me know I might be able to host you or meet for some beer or coffee.

ABOUT ME

I am simple, frugal, like to live with less instead of more, have clear goals, like permaculture, sustainable agriculture and like to go to to places in PR I have never been and can take you there.

PHILOSOPHY

Do good and no harm, work and relax, have goals in life, some small and some large.

I am very much into growing to find one-self and spiritual growth.
