Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
to travel South....VERY south.......
ABOUT ME
Currently living in La Fortuna, Costa Rica...May have a floor for those that are interested. Happy to show people around here...I love it here!
note- need to update my profile more...it is a bit out of date...but you get the point.
me.....I am typically happy, open to new experiences, try to laugh more, would love not to work, but instead play and learn through life as much as I can. So...I have decided to do just that. I have quit my successful business (I ran a Waldorf school in my house), sold all my possessions and I am moving to Latin America. I hope to work with Women Artist Cooperatives teaching them business skills and empowerment skills, how to get a fair wage for their art, and how to market their wonderful work here in the US. I will be volunteering and teaching ESL as well. You may hear from me soon as I travel the US and Central/South America.
PHILOSOPHY
try new things- meet new people, you never know where you might end up! I trust more then I dont trust, I love more then it seems my heart allows...i try more things then I finish...I suppose I am truly about the experiences in life.
