Help sustain my journey
Donation protected
Welcome,
I began traveling the country out of my 1980 Volkswagen Vanagon with the purpose of visiting many different types of intentional communities, alternative living situations, and farms. I am writing a blog sharing the values, goals, and lifestyles of these groups as well as my general experiences and take-aways.
The idea I have with this project is to normalize different walks of life by raising awareness of these alternative lifestyles in a way that allows the average person to live for a moment in the life of someone who’s daily existence is very different than their own. By helping people understand the why and the how of varying ways of existence, for example community, intentional, or off grid living, I hope to stifle judgments of people unlike ‘oneself’ and therefore bring humanity closer together. I believe this is key to conquering our modern day obstacles and to begin working towards aligned goals and values that seem to be commonplace in the vast majority of societies on this planet today.
By elaborating on the values held by these organizations I hope to also spread awareness and offer some insight on important topics such as sustainable homesteading, natural living, eradication of homelessness and hunger, equal rights for all species, and environmental protection and restoration.
Due to the engine failing in the Volkswagen I was traveling in I have hit a lull in my journey. However I know that through my travels and my writing I can inspire positive change on a great scale by sharing the beauty of the world and all of the inhabitants in it as i stumble upon on these wonders one location at a time. And so I have begun building a new tiny home on wheels and will return to my calling as soon as the universe allows.
Even the smallest contribution helps! Donations received will go towards gas, mechanical needs, and supplies. If a mailing location is included in the message, I will send a postcard from my current location to anyone kind enough to donate.
Thank you in advanced for helping my dreams come true.
