Dandelion's European Pilgrimage

Howzit spirit fam?

As many of you know, I have been living in Hawaii for the past 9 months, teaching special ed math at a charter school in a rural district on the Big Island.

My sister Kaitlyn was recently married to a lovely Portuguese fellow named Bruno and I have decided to embrace the unknown and join them for their celebration in Lisbon, Portugal.

I took the little money I had saved and put it all toward a multi-destination ticket: Chicago to Lisbon on Monday, June 1st and Amsterdam to Hilo, on Wednesday July 29th. It cost me $1,758.30.

In between these two points on the map, the unknown awaits. I have no definite itinerary and am offering my gifts, stories, and experience wherever the wind blows. In Hawaii, we call this cruising. Letting go of expectation or plans, and moving freely and in the moment, at your own speed.

Learning to love mystery instead of fearing it allows me to be strong in my vulnerability. It has taken a lot of practice to jump into uncertainty!

I am offering a chance to support a nobel adventure in the art of hospitality. So many times I've hosted travelers and been blessed by the gift of giving. I also have recieved more generosity that can ever be repaid from the hospitality of countless hosts. If you are so inclined, please join me in this grand experiment.
