Hello World!
Eventually we will be allowed to gather as the social beings that we are!!!
In the mean time we can all see each other online and start planning our future... and with steemit came hive and I only recently heard about blurt!!! So here we are and I may still write on all three platforms. Every little bit of crypto is better than none 😁!
Here's a little about me:
I grew up more or less on the road, every two years or so, my mother and I would pick up and go pretty much wherever the wind blew... She was chasing a better life, away from the fast pace life of Paris, away from the rat race and searching for quality. Ironically we eventually found ourselves in New York City, but the traveling didn't stop there. I was hooked and as soon as I left the nest, I went to Central America, then India and then South America... and when I found my long lost cousins in England, well that's a whole traveler story for another time, all I can say is that I started understanding myself a whole lot more! I learned at a young age that being out of my comfort zone could be an extremely powerful tool for internal growth and seeing the truth in others while out of their element.
I've used this tool with my wife, once before we got serious and then another time durring an Eight Month Honeymoon. She is the one without a doubt!!!
Anyway, as you can see traveling is in my blood, and we don't intend to stop. With a six year old boy who would normally be forced by our government to have some kind of approved education, our travels may slow down but we refuse to be shackled down to a perfect attendance 😜! Sorry, but we have a whole world to show him... and the classroom we're all used to isn't one!
While traveling across the planet, there were so many ways of life that intrigued me, but what stood out the most, what made me who I am today is the incredible self-reliance some people are forced to have. Because they have close to nothing (financially) in this civilized world, they have to find the cheapest and most efficient ways to live. May it be drying cow dung patties on a south facing wall to use as a combustible for cooking a meal with, making homes out of mud and straw, or fermenting grains for some joyous entertainment, they always found a way. While being forced by our ever growing economy to be self-reliant may not be very glamorous, those who are in that position today have a great advantage over those who have no practice in finding a way(diy).
Some years ago after a long trip through Argentina, Chile and Peru, I became inspired to create a Nomadic Community Center, I called it The People's Caravan, and this was to be a free center for learning all things, art, self-reliance, mindfulness and movement. Like an old time circus, the dream was to move from town to town across the world, exchanging knowledge, pushing into the foreground skill-sets for living free (in many sense of the word) and inspiring community building after we left. The question was always about money... How could this be sustainable?
I never worked it out, and soon forgot about the dream. A few years later it was revived through ceremony and later the dream morphed or evolved into a realization that we needed a home base for the Caravan. Jessi-k (my beautiful wife) helped in forming this new dream and we decided that a place where we could practice things like permaculture and natural building would be more adequate. This brings me to No Man's Land, aka Mugwort Express, we want to build a Multi-Family Homestead with a Makerspace. Back in March of 2017 we actually took ownership of almost 20 acres and many plans are brewing for our little piece of heaven...
There are way too many ideas to list here, it's just an introduction! You are welcome to come check out my personal page @SenorCoconut for updates on DreamLand, the Caravan and all that.
I think you'll see me here more often now... Have a beautiful day!
