A Change of Scenery

There's nothing quite like a change of scenery to inspire you. Traveling in the volksvegan for the last half of 2007 has given me with a change of scenery every few days or weeks. I grew very fond of life on the road, despite not knowing where we would camp each night or how long the ol' bus would hold up... and I learned a lot from the experience. I am so grateful for having the opportunity and for everyone who made our trip possible.

After the epic journey in our volksvegan, we finally parked the bus and settled into a new home. A house is quite an upgrade from a small van, let me tell ya! Of all the places we visited, we felt especially drawn to the coast, especially in Northern California. Seneca and I went on our first epic journey together in Redwood National Park, where we fell in love with the giant trees and lush landscape. So it's no wonder that we were compelled to return. We now live in Fort Bragg, California, a small town on the beautiful Mendocino county coastline. There are redwood trees right outside my back door and so far we have made some great connections with the community. We feel at home here, and I'm loving life on the coast - being landlocked all my life got to me I guess.

You can see photos of our journey in this photo collection and be sure to visit our new home, too! I am keeping busy but hope to keep updating this site. You can read more on my unplug magazine blog, or read my green-tinged articles on the Green Options network. I've got a pretty good mix of projects going, so stay tuned!

What can I say, I like variety. Change is good, too. :)
