Hello, I’m Joan (not “Jo-ann” but “Jone.”)
I love music and play music. I surf as much as I can, and it is the only way you can get me to wake up before 7 am. I don’t take for granted that I live near the ocean. I love to cook plant-based recipes and I especially love to eat. I sometimes blog about ramen. I enjoy traveling, road trips, crossing borders by foot. I have always been interested in all things mystical (the moon, dreams, cards, astrology, etc.,) I was always shy to share my lifestyle, but I am doing it now.
As I go through my journey, I want to share stories, experiences, advice, or whatever it is I can come up with.
