CURRENT MISSION

I moved to Costa Rica last Aug.. And am getting certification to teach english, adapting to the culture, loving this mountain, chillin after escaping the rat race.

ABOUT ME

vegetarian, country girl, love to grow things, mushrooms, flowers, garden. I keep bees, make maple syrup. I love natural building and have studied it extensively. Some favorite subjects are masonry stoves, root cellars ice houses and grey water systems.

PHILOSOPHY

Practice Harmlessness. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Anarchist I almost never go to big box stores or buy things new unless necessary. Try not to be a consumer. I dont use chemicals in the house or on my body. Live a light footprint.
