Welp, that's the hippiest thing I've heard all week. Congrats. Your post made me happy that I have a bank account and real estate. Huts? Pee Trees? Sounds terrible, sorry.

Make a thread about your stuff.

I for one would be interested in your semantics regarding happiness, as well as learning about the happiness-promoting features of this particular stuff.

In hawaii?

not really a storm season to speak of. More like dry season and wet season

MOTH,glad you finally made it to HI. Are you still thinking about attending UH Hilo?

MY friend preston and I should be back in HI before the end of the year but we will be on Oahu.

To anyone wanting to do the same thing MOTH did,there are tons of work trade farms and stuff that offer housing and food in exchange for a few hours of farm work a day. There is a mango farm on moloka'i that I had plans to work/live on but I could never talk myself into just saying fuck it and go.

Big island and moloka'i are the most likely places you will find that type of farm. Craigslist is a great resource to try as well,thats where I found the mango farm on moloka'i

The wet season is right now so if she can take the winter weather, summer will be great. There is also a lot of climate variation depending on which sides of the islands you live on... windward or leeward. Windward = tropical and wet and rain. Leeward = dry hot and sunny. Most produce farms are on the windward sides and all the hotels & resorts are on the leeward sides.

Hurricane season in the middle of the pacific isn't like hurrican season in the gulf or mid-adlantic, either.

MOTH said:

Hey...I've been living in an eco-village in the jungle for the past week and a half...I'm in the Puna area of the Big Island, Hawaii.

I got a one way ticket. Eating LOADS of sweet fruits.

Everyone at the village is exceptionally cool. I have a hut and pee on trees. Poop goes in the human compost toilet.

I hitch hike EVERYWHERE. It's very enjoyable. I go to the black sand beach at least twice a week, the warm ponds and the mermaid pools. Farmer's markets at least 3-4x a week.

My skin is getting mega-tanned...I walk around naked quite frequently to sunbathe and clothing is optional in the community.

I'm doing a lot of reading and some writing...weather is usually around 80 degrees everyday.

Life is good here in Puna.

Very cool MOTH! :heart:

:heart:

I was wondering when we'd hear from you again after you ran off to Hawaii.
It sounds beautiful.
Do you have a job or are you living off the fruits of the earth and the kindness of strangers?
How are the psychedelics/cannabis down there? Are people tolerant?
I would love to be there!...
Mostly cause you'd be walking around naked. :wink:

This, and still for pics of tropical paridise . . . . and . . .

Here are some pics of the eco-village, sorry it's taken me so long...I actually left the commune in search of some adventure, went to a Rainbow Gathering and have been living in my tent hammock in the jungle for the past month camping out in some very remote places.

Here is the communal kitchen:

Firepit attached to kitchen:

The goddess hut:

The yoga studio:

Gorgeous foliage:

Where I live now...anywhere that's remote and beautiful:

I am never worried about having a place to go. There are places to camp out and do work trade or just chill on someone's land EVERYWHERE.

Tonight I paid for a night in a Hilo hostel because I'm expecting a friend to arrive, but I've been in Waipi'o Valley for the past two weeks and Southpoint 2 weeks before that just camping out and living minimally.

My next adventure will be hiking the Na Pali Coast of Kauai, probably soon.

Beautiful, inspiring digital pics, Moth! That eco-village looks fantastic!
How has the weather been since you've been there? Have you had to brave any harsh storms?
What has been the best thing about your journey, so far?
And, what has been the hardest obstacle or struggle... if any?

Yes, I have been in some monsoon rains, multiple times, and a squall by the sea. Sometimes my hammock tarp can't handle it and my sleeping bag gets soaking wet. When this happens, I wake up, try to find a way to get dry/warm, and just have faith in impermanance.

When I'm at the eco-village the rain is pretty much a non-issue. But camping is more difficult when it pours. Waipi'o is a very wet place so I had my most challenging moments so far in that valley. I surrendered to being wet and cold for three days.

The most important thing is to keep a positive attitude no matter what.

The best thing about my journey are the inspiring people I meet and the amazingly beautiful plants I come across. Being near the ocean all the time. The great fruit. Really there are too many awesome things to list...I love it here and enjoy this lifestyle.

You have to be a cool person, kind and cooperative.
