:seeya: Hiya! So, here's my story - Hi! My name's Bailey. I'm a very fun, loving, free spirit and I love to travel, meet people, experience new things, create art, appreciate nature, share ideas, feed people, go to shows and gatherings - you name it! I've been living back home in Ohio for 2 1/2 years and I'm going stir-crazy! Ahhh! Last time I was on the road was 2007-2008ish. I've hitched all over the country multiple times, lived in several different states and alla that fun stuff (in other words, I know how to ruff it) and I'm ready to be on the move again. I'm open to all ideas, communal living, traveling around with some kind people inna bus, van, rv, car, submarine, etc. or whatever else! I'm just ready for a change and am leaving my heart and mind open to what life has to offer! I would like to find some reliable kind family to "live" or travel with who may need help with a certain goal or are just looking for a good companion who's willing to help out in any way she can. Some things about me - I'm 25, single, no kids, don't smoke ciggs or eat meat but if you do that's cool, I don't have a dog (haha), I don't drive or have a vehicle, I'm drama free and like to keep the vibe high and fun! I'm not crazy or creepy and can get along with just about anyone. I find myself sitting around here doing a lot of :ssmokeit: and arty: and just becoming lazy,unmotivated and unhealthy and am ready to change that! I'm sick of being stuck in this holographic reality, I know I'm cut out for much more than this, as are all of us! People I've traveled with in the past were often unreliable and I found myself alone at times, and even though I learned how strong I was and more about myself, well, I'm a people person and I don't like to be alone, haha. I like to be with kind, real people who are full of love and are reliable. You know, FAMILY. I truly care about people, animals and the universe. After coming back home from being on the road, I tried to get friends from around the area to come venture out with me and experience some newness but haven't had any luck unfortunately so I'm reaching out to family on here! An ideal senerio to me would be to travel with some family on the road, wake up to different sights, feed some people, do some good, pick up trades and learn from eachother, be silly, laugh and enjoy life! I would also love to learn more about becoming self sufficent and organic farming. I don't know - throw some ideas at me! I'm up for lots of different things! Let's do it! So who's passing through northeast Ohio or wouldn't mind making a detour to come resuce a silly sister? :troll: Hope to hear from you soon! And even if you can't help me out with a ride and you just wanna say whats up, that's awesome too!! Love and Light Bailey
Hi whatsup Bailey! I have no solutions but wanted to say hi, since I'm in Ohio also Cincinnati. Last passed through your area on way to gathering this past year. Did you go? Went early with my daughter, it got too cold for us and we were very unprepared. The first night we were there the official low was 35 degrees. I'm ashamed to say we didn't stay very long. But it was still worth going.
Hi SunLion! No, I didn't make it to the gathering this year, as unbelievable as that seems since it was so close, I had my own reasons for not going. Sorry you didn't get the full experience, but happy you made it out reguardless Had you gone to previous gatherings before?

Hi John! Thanks for replying to my post. What you're setting out to do sounds awesome and I wish you the best of luck in succeeding in your goals, but unfortunately I'm not quite feeling it right now, I'm looking for something a little different and I just gotta trust that inner voice cause it's got me this far! haha. Take care and safe travels!
Hi SunLion! No, I didn't make it to the gathering this year, as unbelievable as that seems since it was so close, I had my own reasons for not going. Sorry you didn't get the full experience, but happy you made it out reguardless Had you gone to previous gatherings before? Yeah, but not often, and not in a very long time, mostly regionals and pot luck drum circles from '93 to '99. My only other national was the 1999 one near Ridgway PA. That was really a great experience and I still can think of those days even now and feel real inspiration.
wild you could always come out here to va and chill with us here on our little commune for a spell plenty of nature and lots to keep busy with. we do the whole travel around to the flea markets to sell crafted goods, anyways be well john
