Hello! My partner and I have been life long wannabe earth savers, and six years ago we took the plunge quit our jobs and became full time hippies. Travelling all around North America we have gotten to practice living off the land and we have been putting our permaculture training to the test.

This has led us to understanding we need to live in a Climate that has year round growing.  We applied for our Temporary Residency for Mexico and are in the finishing process.

We are pretty heavy fruit eaters and love helping out with everything permaculture related.

Our skills are strongest in food forestry and living systems as well as natural building.

If you are or know anyone in Mexico with lot of fruit and a place to camp, we would gladly trade for our labor.

We are very low maintenance simple couple looking for land in Mexico as it is our first time we would love some allies and also learn about the local growing.

Thanks for your time

Hello Friend! I have thought of this exact thing in different terms and ran it by the guy who taught me cob and he made a really good point.

One of the biggest advantages of cob is its ability to "live". You give a lot of little trade offs for one big return. Having it be more sturdy is amazing, but you are giving away, the flexibility,
ability to modify easily, ease of repair, breathing effect and air exchange of the material not to mention many more. Some things to ponder over, but I think the idea is amazing, the thing that
stopped me was wanting all those other things.

Good luck!

Hello all!

My girlfriend and I travel during the Canadian winter to the United States. We are wondering if anyone needs help with any permaculture projects and would like to host us in exchange for our labor!

We have successfully done this for the last 3 years and love learning and sharing what we know. Our experience in permaculture goes much deeper than 3 years but that was when we quit our jobs
to pursue a holistic life. We currently run workshops in BC during the summer , feel free to check out our website www.wisdominlivingdreams.com

We make our living by playing music so in our spare time we want to save the world one step at a time!

Our skills include Sustainable Garden Design, Food Forestry, Earthen Building, Health and Music!

If you are interested in starting a conversation with us please drop us a email. thetreehuggersband@gmail.com

Please pass this along to anyone you feel might be interested.

One love!

Mike and Lori!
