tour

the tour I mapped out. Hawaii at the top. old notebook entitled trip.

old list from a notebook i had

this list is over a year old but is pretty accurate to what I'm taking on my trip, added and subtracted a few things.

notes from a book I read

found these notes from the time when I think I was reading 7 habits of highly effective people.

rough itinerary:
DEC 5th: land in Honolulu, explore the city, make further plans for my trip, stay with some friends from Iowa
that live there now.

DEC 9th-12th ill be couch surfing or camping and will be doing more exploring and planning to head to the
Hawaii Fire Tribe Winter Solstice Gathering in the mountains.

Dec 13th I will be heading to the mnt. for the Hawaii Fire Tribe Winter Solstice gathering, hoping to make as many connections as possible, learn, do some writing and do some exercising.

Dec 18-19th will be in Honolulu

Dec. 20th  i will be flying to the Big Island and will he hiking my way to the Hawaii Rainbow(Renewal) Gathering
 little description of what the rainbow family according to the unofficial rainbow family website
   Some say we're the largest non-organization of non-members in the world. We have no leaders, and no organization. To be honest, the Rainbow Family means different things to different people. I think it's safe to say we're into intentional community building, non-violence, and alternative lifestyles. We also believe that Peace and Love are a great thing, and there isn't enough of that in this world. Many of our traditions are based on Native American traditions, and we have a strong orientation to take care of the the Earth. We gather in the National Forests yearly to pray for peace on this planet.

Jan 5th-8th I will be attending the HEMF (Hawaii electronic music festival) I am looking to volunteer in exchange for tickets. The best thing about volunteering is meeting and working with other people and learning.

Jan 8th I will on my way to the first farm or commune to work on. i don't have arrangements yet but do have some options. i know i will be meeting a lot of people who might give me advice on where to go and also might find some people to travel with.

Feb- I want to go to Maui and see the Road to Hana and experience that Island

March- I will be heading back to Oahu, i will be in contact with friends back home to continue to plan my return home/birthday/music video premier/variety show party. Is going to be BADASS

March 14 i will be back in Davenport, IA.

When returning home i want to stay in a lot of different places helping family or friends where ever i stay. My brothers girlfriend is having a baby girl sometime in April and my sister is also pregnant. I would like to start some gardens with these babys in mind, planting foods that can be turned into good baby food. i want to start practicing my massage therapy skills on my return home also. Making music with friends will be my fun time when i get home.

i would settle for a done up old school bus though.
going to let it simmer.

right near da beach boiiii

this is the picture I've had in my office, apt. kitchen and room at parents. I've had it for around 2 years. I picked it up at the goodwill and thought it would help me shift my attention from some of the psychedelic rock posters I had around my rooms to something fresh. maps also went up. after going to a Sierra club out door leadership program I met a lot of badass people who influenced me to follow some of my dreams. it was a very positive experience. for a long time I have had the dream to travel and meet people who are different, knowledgeable, kind and sustainable. the more people I meet and the more I learn what has worked for them to be happy and sustainable is going to help me when I want to start a family base. I lived on an organic farm last summer and worked in exchange for food, housing and knowledge. when I am 30 I will have a successful farm, business and family base.

from the time I plant the seed till it becomes reality

little dreadlock guy sculpture I made in 5 th grade. it took so long for me to manifest dreadlocks to my reality. after letting my hair grow out for over 2 years and getting dreads my senior year in high school that turned into a huge dreadlock ball and having to cut my hair I didn't know if I would strive for dreadlocks again but I did. i am proud of my dreadlocks I have now today.
it's funny that I also use to draw pictures of vans almost identical to the 2 vans I have had.
