I am a native Spanish speaker who grew up partially in the United States and spent a lot of time in Venezuela growing up. I currently live in Sayulita and run Tu Casa Sayulita Property Management. This has been home since since 2016. Prior to this, I worked for 20 years as a public school teacher, trainer and Principal. After founding Travel to Learn, an ecoadventure and educational travel company with programs in Arizona and Nicaragua, I took some time off to get some experience in natural construction building with straw bale, cob, earth bag and other earthen materials. I enjoy spending time with my dog, Chile, playing guitar, tennis, Padel and fermenting foods and beverages. For many years now, I have been making new products to help either myself, a friend or family member. For as long as I can remember I have been looking at labels and wondering why so many chemicals are needed. If we didn't have it 50-100 years ago, why do we need it now? That is my take on food, medicine, products, technology and life in general. I figure if we should learn as much as possible from nature and live as harmoniously as possible with nature. To this end, I am motivated to constantly create new products and delicious and healthy ferments. And the cool part is that each product I make has a story. For example, the mouthwash was created after being told I needed gum surgery. That was over 15 years ago and no surgery. Of course, I never went back to the dentist so that was easy! Just kidding. I have been to the dentist many times over and there have been no more comments about my gums. I created the facial serum and sunblock after having a pre-cancerous spot on my face frozen off and finally cut out. Of course, medical intervention was needed, but I truly believe that after 15 years, nothing has reoccured due to the natural products that I made. After moving to Sayulita and looking endlessly for a good bug spray, I just decided to make one. I tried all of the natural options at the markets but none did the job so off I went and started testing. It took about 6 months to come up with what is now called Buzz-Off and of course, it works. I hope you enjoy the products I offer and if you have a good story about using them, please do share. |
