I don't mind what happens. I just got back home Oct 25 from an 8 month adventure to Iceland, North/South Europe , and SE/central Asia . I spent a lot of money, did my 200hr yoga teacher training, now I'm saving, I'm living with my girlfriend, dad, brother and roommate who are also struggling financially. We have 2 Labrador mixes that can be a bit rambunctious but they don't bite . Their names are Honey & Biscuit.

IF YOU WANT TO STAY WITH US PLEASE READ:
- my dad owns the deed to the house and it's his final call wether or not you stay. But if you send a request I will bring it up to him.
- there is no private room available, only shared.
-THE MORE AHEAD OF YOUR ARRIVAL YOUR REQUEST IS THE HIGHER CHANCE YOU WILL BE ACCEPTED
-we live 25 min from city buses. If you make proper arrangements than we can pick you up from wherever you arrive in Austin.(MAYBE Houston/SAN Antonio but there will be larger fee) we can also drive you to the bus station or wherever for a small gas fee.

-if you want to join me for yoga in the mornings/evenings

-WE SMOKE IN THE HOUSE, especially on cold days. We are not strait edge sober-heads. If you are I have mad respect for that but just be aware the house is smoky there are smokers in the house.
-we DO NOT DISCRIMINATE, we welcome people of all race, gender, class, religious/political alignment and sexual orientation. That doesn't mean we are joke nazis I myself have a relatively morbid sense of humor . Just try to not be deliberately mean or prejudice. The golden rule is the best rule.

Where I live we are right down the road from Hamilton Pool, don't look up a picture it will spoil it😊(or go ahead). You usually have to make reservations to go, or we can sneak in. For reservations google hamilton pool dripping springs reservations...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've survived a roll over car accident going 100k/h, I've summited Mt. Baker in the pacific North West of the U.S.. I've sat in 11* Celsius pool for 6+minutes , I've pet a Yak in the Himalayas, I've drank tea made from Da Tura a poisonous psychedelic cactus in Nepal , I've been to an island with no cars and only horses(Gili Air) That's semi-amazing things I've done.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you yoga asanas( postures) or just about body mechanics and structural integrity even though I myself am a wreck when it comes to muscle imbalances I have learned a great deal over the years . I have knowledge about managing your energy when it comes to food and substance intake. But if you don't want to talk about it don't worry about it.

I'd love to learn how to be more self sufficient, we need more self sufficient people that know how to grow food and build homes, and that's what I'd love to learn! Also anything to do with health of my mind, body and soul.

I will share about almost anything, I love philosophy and it's practical uses(though it's not all practical, I like weeding out what is and isn't). I'd love to share about our routines and the way we manage our time each day. I'll share my interests in hopes that you will be open to sharing yours, and we'll see what we can do !

What I Can Share with Hosts

My bread & salt, my company, my vices and virtues, my knowledge and my friendship.
