About me:

I'm a travel junkie, raw foodist, earth dweller, artist/photographer/writer/audiophile. I make (& peddle) raw organic medicinal chocolate. I want to live in a treehouse & grow my own food someday, but I do my best to live in the now. I love being around people with positive energy. I believe everyone has something to teach me & that life is too short to not follow your heart.
