About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To wake up daily and make the choice to always look for reasons to feel good, have fun, and enjoy life.

ABOUT US

On the daily, we live a simple lifestyle on our forested homestead in the smokey mountains with all of our animals.

We're investors and we focus on investing in things we believe in, including: the Earth, ourselves, real estate, cryptocurrency, essential oils, and more.

Before we started our homestead, we spent most of our time learning through jobs, work-exchanges, and immersion education courses. Now, the plants and animals on our land teach us more than any book, show, movie, or course can provide.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We have been hosted in many wonderful homes all throughout the US during a few of our road trips and have hosted a couple people at our place who managed to catch us between travels.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies and Shows: we love buddy comedies that keep us laughing

Music and Books: we used to read all the time and listen to tons of music. Lately, we're enjoying the sounds and teachings of being present to the moment, nature, and our own inner guidance.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

10 days of Vipassana meditation in complete silence, tuning into the sensations of the body, and releasing thoughts, words, and actions that don't serve our higher purpose. It's tough work and it's so worth it, every single time. This is the type of work that no one else can do for you or force you to do, it's a choice and must be done with awareness and love.

Teach, Learn, Share

We're always open to learn and share.
We trust that each persons inner guidance system will show them their own path, as well as the answers and solutions to the questions asked and challenges experienced.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Every time we travel we have something different to offer, physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and financially.

Our abundance manifests in different forms at different times in our life.

We do our best to share what we have in abundance, no matter what that is.

If its laughter, we share that. If its fresh eggs from our hens, we share that. If its an essential oil for your cut, burn, or cough; we share that. Each situation is different, just like each host is different, but no matter where we stay, we always have something to share, and it's always LOVE.
