Bio:
Raw adventure is calling me. After 15 years of destroying my health with standard american office work (Software Architecture), I've managed to break free and intend to travel the tropics, make new friends and eat 100% lfrv. My passions are gardening, running, hiking, mt biking, composing music and playing guitar.

Career:
Saved up some money while working at mtbr.com. I know more about computers than is healthy for me. I specialize in Linux (Ubuntu/Debian), C++ (gnome), mysql, perl/php/python. In the first 10 years of my corporate slavery I had become a wizard at c# windows programming. If you have problems, ideas, projects dealing with any aspect of computing, I can probably help. My dream is to live abundantly while working remotely somewhere in the tropics ... possibly teaching computer science to the locals... or maybe opening a raw vegan internet cafe/society ... but most likely extending my e-commerce software/consulting business. Message me if you have any ideas/experience!

Hi Mike!
I'm excited to be meeting you at Woodstock Fruit Festival, I believe I saw that you are going? Hubby and I are soon to be heading for Costa Rica, he will go directly after the festival actually, I will join him later. Could you give us any tips on what we can expect fruit-wise, where to go, what to see, who to meet? We are hoping to make a go of living down there. So we'll be seeking out work and a city to dwell in.
So stoked!
Hugs and fruit,

Hello Mike!
Thank you so much for you're reply! and for the update on the Belize farm. Still very looks interesting, even though it isn't 80/10/10 people running it anymore! :P I will definitely email! Thanks for also giving the best seasons to go, that definitely helps!
Yes, I've heard that Belize isn't the worse off in Central America, but even though I've been to India and have seen first hand the extend of desperation our society has reached, it still gets to me. But I guess the only way to go about it is to be the change we want to see! :)
Did you by any chance find anywhere else exciting in Central America?
ALos as a side note (sorry tell me if I'm asking too many questions! ;)) have you been to Australia? I'm looking into it as a possible location to go and get permaculture/eco/autonomous living experience!
Thank you again!
Have a brilliant day!
AJ
Hello Mike!
I saw on a thread that you were WWOOFing in Belize and I was just wondering if you are still there/or if it's possible to WWOOF at the same place! :)
I was planning to do a year WWOOFing there and Vida Clara looks perfect! But then I saw a thread were they said they were selling the farm! So I'm a bit confused whether it is still possible to go there? I'd appreciate any info!
Thank you so much in advance! :D
Hope you have a beautiful day,
AJ
Thanks Mike, yes, check out Brazil - it has amazing fruits I am telling you!
Now, just wondering about Ecuardorian visas: would it be easy to become a permanent resident there?
From S.L.C to C.R. ...(been there 2)
Glad u enjoy C.R. (PARADISE ON YOUR PLATE & IN YOUR GLASS...)
I'm heading to uvita tonight, then either to orotina (tons of fruit, apparently!) or to San isidro for the market. It would be great to meet up with y'all, but it's seeming like I'll have to pick one or the other. I'll let you know though!
