For years now I travel and live in places with almost non-existent wifi connection…

(it’s a wonderful life in a way : )

Right now this type of lifestyle makes it much easier to just publish one photo with a short story to Instagram, than trying to edit, upload media and publish a story here. But whenever I have enough time and good wifi connection, I will try to publish stories and photographs.

I get emails asking if there ever will be a book… maybe… maybe not… It’s really not that important… not to me.

But yes, maybe someday I will put several books together; one with photographs, poetry and notes and one perhaps will be a memoir… but memoirs should be written at a time, when you have nothing else to learn…which you always do… (or you have realized all that you wished for yourself and hope to somehow inspire others to live their lives to the best of their ability, regardless of circumstances) and I don’t believe, I’m there just yet… I’m still a student.

I also hope someday to sail around the world indefinitely… yo ho yo ho and many, many, many bottles of rum…

Health update — After years of agony, I was able to heal some of the major health problems completely (after exposure to a couple of vaccines that were given to me in USA in 2011 and 2012) with natural remedies and the rest health problems got much better.

I am sharing this, because I want to help people who are suffering with PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome), prediabetes, Metrorrhagia, Endometriosis, Anemia, Diabetes 2, Pre-cancerous cells, Cancer, IBS, Thyroid dysfunction, Lymphatic Dysfunction.

Things that healed me  —

 Important — (!!!You are an adult, over 18 and if you’re not over 18, you shouldn’t be reading this site. Do your own independent research and make your own decisions. Do not rely on anything you see written or said about the subject of health. It is your health, so take responsibility for your health and well-being like I did and stop relying on “doctors”, “system” and articles that you read online… Do your own independent research and make your own decisions if you truly want healing!!!)

  1. Boron (that is labeled as poison by the system) / “Borax”. Research benefits of boron and how it can cure things.
  2. Black Seed Oil
  3. Extra Virgin Cold Pressed Coconut Oil (best one is from Philippines) for cooking and skin care, only natural hand-made soaps for skin and hair, no shampoos or any synthetic creams, no synthetic cosmetics, not drinking tap water and cutting red meat out of my diet. I only eat wild caught fish (as much as I can) and wild caught meat (sometimes not on regular basis)
  4. If you can not eat it don’t put in on your skin.
  5. Apricot seeds (B17 that is also banned), Turmeric and Chloroxygen.
  6. 30-40 days eating only uncooked foods… (and I do mean NOTHING cooked in any way) going completely raw for a month or more, no coffee, no alcohol, no teas with caffeine.
  7. Doing what I love, creating and dancing this life no matter what.
  8. Collecting memories, instead of things and leading a nomadic life 9-10 months of the year and sharing joy, happiness, tears, laughs and love with people in all corners of the world.
  9. Forgiving myself and people who hurt me most and writing down the date that I will be healed. Writing down things that you want in your life, will bring them to you. Write down your dream life. Right now… go write your wishes down.
  10. Asking for forgiveness (and forgiving in the process) even of those who’ve done wrong by me and letting go. (it’s a process)
  11. Spending time with nature as much as I can, with people that I love and not watching “news” or TV since 2008.

The latest crazy adventure was in Madagascar, where I traveled to solo and lived there for a month a few months ago.

“Dancing with the dead”… In Madagascar.. (Turning of the bones)
I did not just dance with the dead (with their bodies around the crypt) .. I (being a woman) got to dance with the heads of families on the roof of the tomb holding the flag of Madagascar .. It is not easy to find this ceremony, to be invited to one, become part of the family and especially be invited by the heads of those families to dance with them on top of the crypt… Beneath me in the tomb bodies and souls of 6 men and 6 women, danced and drank this life with me, with every hit of my cowboy boots and the heartbeats of 500 people, who danced around the crypt. Dust drenched in eternity of this “red land” traveled all the way to infinity and back….

They believe that their deceased family members, have healing and special powers. They ask for guidance and blessings. If husband and wife were somehow in different crypts, they are being reunited at those ceremonies.
Without tours, without guides, without a driver with a car (as a white person usually moves here) and translators .. I experienced this otherworldly Malagasy tradition from A to Z with Malagasy family (whom accepted me as their own) .. without knowing the language .. I slept with them on the floor in the cold without electricity (only 30% of houses in Madagascar have electricity), pushed the car and plunged into a real Madagascar, instead of the one that you are shown on the TV and sold in tour companies. After a couple of days, children and adults yelled my name from all corners of this village. I help people in poorest corners of our world, by living with them and giving my money to them directly, instead of hotels, resorts and mafia “Charities”. (17.07.2017)

DANCING WITH THE DEAD IN MADAGASCAR 2017. “TURNING OF THE BONES” CEREMONY. FAMADIHANA.

PS – This ceremony is called Famadihana. If you want to experience this ceremony, do it now.. in 50 years it will probably completely disappear, like so many other ancient customs and culture around the globe due to mainstream religion.

***

Another unbelievable adventure of 2017 is how I became a “Captains Daughter” in the Philippines (where I lived for 2 months)… (some of the photos are above)

I swam naked everyday with turtles and fishes.. (hired a local boat with captain and negotiated a 30$ per day price tag (cheaper than hotels and 3 times cheaper than tours) I camped, fished, said hi to wild monkeys and lived my own incredible “blue lagoon” life…. with zero tourists! Completely unplugged from “society” and truly free. Don’t be afraid to negotiate directly with locals and help them, instead of foreign “tour companies”, who don’t care and don’t help local communities in any way.

In the past 20 months I have also lived through every single Southeast Asian nation… all 11 of them.

A LOT OF NATIVE PEOPLE AND TRIBAL COMMUNITIES IN REMOTE CORNERS OF OUR WORLD ARE BEING ROBBED BY RELIGION, UNITED NATIONS AND BANKS — LANDS CONFISCATED AND SOLD TO FOREIGNERS, WHO BUILD RESORTS, HOTELS AND VILLAS FOR THE ELITE, MINING FOR GOLD AND GEMSTONES, LEAVING PEOPLE HOMELESS, DEFORESTATION BY LOGGING INDUSTRIES, WHICH KILLS MANY ANIMALS, PALM OIL PLANTATIONS, ILLEGAL FISHING COMPANIES, MAKING IT HARD FOR LOCAL PEOPLE TO GET ANY FOOD FROM OCEANS AND SEAS AND ILLEGAL MINING COMPANIES, TO NAME A FEW.

TRIBES BEING FORBIDDEN (OR FORCED TO GET A LICENSE, WHICH THEY CAN’T AFFORD) TO HUNT, FISH, GROW AND SELL THEIR OWN FOOD AND ARE FORCED TO USE “MONEY” AND MOVE TO CITIES IN ORDER TO SURVIVE, THEY ARE ALSO FORCED TO VACCINATE, WITHOUT BEING TOLD ABOUT SIDE EFFECTS OF ALL VACCINES. (USUALLY BY “SCHOOL” OR CHURCH.)

(DOES IT REMIND YOU OF ANYONE YOU KNOW?…)

IF YOU EVER HEAR, WATCH OR READ IN “THE NEWS” (WHY ARE YOU STILL DOING THAT?) BAD PRESS AND “DANGERS” OF GOING TO A PLACE, BE SURE, THAT THEY (THE USUAL SUSPECTS, THAT I MENTIONED EARLIER) ARE STEALING SOMETHING THERE, THAT THEY DON’T WANT YOU TO SEE.

THOSE PEOPLE WHO ARE STILL ABLE TO MOVE FREELY, THINK INDEPENDENTLY, FEEL PASSIONATELY, SPEAK WHAT’S IN THEIR SOULS, CREATE, HUNT, FISH, GROW THEIR OWN FOOD, BARTER WITH THEIR NEIGHBOR, HEAL THEMSELVES WITH NATURE, COLLECT RAIN WATER AND USE WELLS,

THOSE WHO ARE SELF-SUFFICIENT, KNOW BASIC SURVIVAL SKILLS AND KNOW AND CAN SURVIVE WITHOUT “MONEY” (THAT ARE ONLY WORTH SOMETHING, BECAUSE OF YOUR FAITH IN THAT NOTION… JUST LIKE RELIGION AND GOVERNMENTS) ARE THE TRUE FREE SOULS.

I refuse to “settle” anywhere and hope to never “settle” anywhere.. Church/Religion, anti-religion groups and banks do that — they perfected settling on a global scale… not me.. I don’t “settle” because “settling” is unnatural to me. I want to continue being homeless (that’s different from soulless, I mind you) and continue moving and living anywhere i want and if I am no longer “allowed” to do that or have that choice of freedom to not settle and freedom of movement taken away, then there’s no point to be alive for me.

A freedom to move and not settle anywhere is what I am born with.. I was born wild and free and I shall leave this particular world unchanged. I simply don’t acknowledge or grant any “authority” over my mind, body and soul to anyone or anything. And if i shall stand (not kneel) alone in that way of life, then that’s how it is going to be.

I take full responsibility for my health, freedom and happiness. And I don’t grant that responsibility to anyone / anything else.

If you are ever forced to do something like voting, vaccines, living in one place, not being able to speak whats in your heart, not being able to grow your own food or fish and hunt and not ever truly owning your land – because most never truly own land if you look closely enough… (you’re LEASING your whole life from the system, that has been set up around you with your permission) then why settle?

If I am ever forced to be vaccinated, vote, go to church, subscribe to any ideology, have a chip (for my own and world security of course) it will be the last time, you hear from me : )

STAY WILD AND FREE, MY LOVES.

LOVE MORE, FORGIVE AND DANCE NO MATTER WHAT.

P.S – Go do something today, that you have never done before, do something today that scares you. Call your parents if you haven’t spoken to them in a long time, kiss a stranger, tell someone you love them, give someone a hug, look up into the sky, be grateful for your life and for all that you have, make someone laugh, forgive the one who hurt you most, love more, laugh more, live more… and don’t forget the rum… 🥃

Thank you for your support, love and laughter. Thank you for the joy you brought to me. Hope I am able to do the same for you. Hope the work that will be published here, continue inspiring all of you, my dear readers,  from all the corners of our beautiful world – From an 18 year-old Indian girl, who was inspired to leave her home country and pursue her dreams , to a 50-something year old woman, who is battling a serious illness and wants to try a more natural approach to healing. 

All of you, are my inspiration. And all of your emails, “thank you” notes, poems and artwork, worth more than all the fame and riches in the world.

You may still share my work that will be published here, on any social media sites and contact me directly through the contact form.
