#explore your backyard

Back home on my stomping ground.

Not much has changed in the past 2 1/2 years with being away. But that’s the way I like it.

I wish the winter would be gone already though.

I will always choose to be in nature if given a choice.

If you are not already following me you totally should.

Started this IG as Venus and The Native moon (TM) and eventually became more in tune with the New Moon the older I became. This was started around the very early part of the start of the second year I jumped off onto my own grid. I ended up moving offically to the Blue Ridge Mountains in summer of 2011,after living there for awhile,in the early winter of 2011 as well as late 2010. I have my heart there forever and I have traveled and experienced so much,yet still call it home.. My journey is a wild and different one,as everyone’s is

Except I have experienced it 50% off the grid on my own for the last 8 yrs;dwelling in the forest has become the normal in my taste.

Experiencing life outside the confines of the normal drone and murmer of society has always enticed me. Now,after years of dreaming,I am truly living and loving my life as it is.

Those who critizes that I only go to the same places are the ones that have never gone anywhere.
