My Travel Story

My family has seen a lot of hard times since 2021 and we've been working hard to bring our dreams into reality! Our goal is simple, yet will be impactful for us + others! We want to expand our knowledge of homesteading & permaculture, and give our children the ultimate educational experience by traveling to different intentional communities across the US for work/volunteer opportunities.

We are currently needing funding for our family of four to successfully purchase a used camper & truck to pull it. We've researched and found this to provide more space than an RV. Local sellers have had good deals for a while now, and we could make both purchases for around $7,000.

Once we have our semi-nomadic lifestyle established, we intend to find work with communities who help set up food forests & eco-friendly homes for at-risk peoples.

Right now, we live with family. I'm a SAHM of two little ones, offering consulting services online as a way to bring in income. It hasn't taken off yet, though I know it's something I'd enjoy doing while traveling. My partner has been in & out of jobs with wage disputes & unfair treatment since 2021. At times, we've had no money. We also haven't had reliable transportation to expand the job search. We don't have transportation for daycare for both of us to work traditional 9-5, which I take as a sign to follow our hearts, and not be afraid to seek help so that we can provide value back to others authentically. 

Now that we have an awesome opportunity with a homesteading couple in Mississippi, I kow that things will fall into place, if we can just get started :) We would be so grateful to anyone who helps us fund our soul quest. We do at least have the funds for other necessities for travel. If you donate, I'd love to send you some art to show my gratitude. I do portraits, mostly. (Not sure if I am able to know the donor to send anything back, but the sentiment is there either way lol). 

Thanks so much for reading this!!!
