CURRENT MISSION

Looking for alnd in the Waikato to build an Earthship

ABOUT ME

I'm interested in removing myself from the monetary system as much as possible.

I'm not complete without my other half, the wonderful Jessie.

We are going to build an Earthship in NZ as soon as we find some land, with the help of family & wwoofers! And this will be surrounded by a permaculture garden with chickens & goats.

Hopefully we can find an area with people wanting to live a similar lifestyle, so we can trade knowledge & extra produce.

PHILOSOPHY

Peace & Justice
