My background is in theater, music and spoken-word performance, ESL teacher and of late private chef for small events. and organizing cluttered homes. Since Sept. 2014 I've been on a mission to shift focus from consuming/renting to bartering in exchange for room (sometimes board). This has helped to relieve stress and put focus on living in the moment, the only place you can experience happiness. I'm a firm believer in "basic Income" for all and until that happens, if it can in my lifetime, I'm happy to live simply.
