Greetings, My name is Christopher and I plan on traveling in Turkey Sometime between The end of November through January. I am hoping to find kind folks like yourselves to collaborate with while I am traveling. I am a licensed solar contractor in Northern California for the past 22 years. I have been studying permaculture for the past 20 years as well. I find it so much more rewarding when I can share experiences with like minded people who remind me of my own community. I traveled in Chile and Argentina and was fortunate to help many people out with their renewable energy systems and get this amazing opportunity to drop into the community as well instead of just passing through. Blessings to you all and please reach out if you want to talk some more.
