A Tad About Me

Myan Lane: Athens, Ohio, United States; I am a 2010 graduate of Hocking College in Nelsonville, Ohio. I have an AAS in Ecotourism and Adventure Travel. I am a naturalist, a barefoot hiker and a sustainable living practitioner. I hope to share my experiences in living symbiotically with nature with my fellow species in hopes of expanding knowledge on how to create a life utilizing your local environment's many beneficial resources. I hope sharing my work will promote others to live in companionship with our natural world.
