Ometepe Touchdown T-6 Days!

The flight has just been booked and paid for! WOOP! On Monday I fly out to Costa Rica, ride a bus to Liberia, another bus that crosses the border into Nicaragua, catch another bus to a ferry and cross the beautiful Lake Nicaragua to the island of Ometepe. Between two ancient volcanoes is where I will begin a new life, from the ground up, or at least get ideas for the next stage in my life.

So this is how it all started. The co-founder of InanItah, a developing intentional living and learning center with a focus toward environmentally and spiritually regenerative living contacted me about 2 weeks ago about an exchange. I get to volunteer for InanItah as a web developer and get board and lodging for 3 months and all the fun wonderful things they offer. They are building an Eco-Village where I will get to learn Permaculture Design, Natural Building, Organic Gardening and Tree Planting, do Yoga, Tantra, OSHO Meditations, Ecstatic Dance, Massage, various rituals… I will even get to milk the cows and make my own yoghurt and cheese. It’s everything I have wanted to learn and do for a few years now as I have a dream of building my own eco-house and living off the grid some day, but there is a lot to learn before I can do that.

The fact that they are on an island is about as incredible as it gets. The only thing they don’t have is a treehouse on an island I can live in. Yet ;)

So watch this space. I still need to get a no-see-um net, gear for the rainy season coming up, bedding, possible medical insurance if I have any money left over. And I need to buy provisions for Frolina who will be staying at the log cabin with Yorba and Annie, pampered to death by Joseph. Time is flying and money is running out.

While I am there I will be working for my 3 main clients but not taking on any extra work until I get back. So hold yer horses on that contact form! Thanks.
