Life isn't about finding yourself.
Life is about creating yourself.

That is my basic philosophy. :)

Music, Movies, and Books

The list here is extensively long.

I love all kinds of music. From post-punk to Goth, from World music to trance. I have a soft spot in my heart for Jazz, having lived in New Orleans for several years.

I like edgy, alternative films, mostly. Movies that dig deep.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've gone swimming in the Nile River. It was cold! :) I also walked the Camino de Santiago, in Fall of 2016!!

Teach, Learn, Share

Natural Medicine.
Aromatherapy.
Western Hermeticism.
Some recipes.
Basically what I hope to give fellow travelers is a safe, warm place where they feel like part of my extended family, and not a stranger. I want my guests to feel rested and at home.
