    Festivals Only On FB?

    I'm no longer on Facebook and it seems so many festivals are only on there. Does anyone have a list or resource of festivals? I've exhausted just about every list there is. The "hippie" fests are too expensive and it seems the only way to find out about any of the Rainbow Fests is to be on...

    Hi, Y'all! Sock Monkey Queen and Gypsy, passing through!

    It's been a while, but y'all are never far from my thoughts. Thanks to my Cousin, Lif, I have discovered that I have Gypsy blood! Specifically, Romanichal, Gitano and a smidge of Volchi. Yeah! Now...my wanderlust ways make sense. Shout out to any others of Gypsy blood! Oh and just an...

    Hi, Y'all from the Sock Monkey Queen!

    Not really an introduction... But being as I don't get here as often as I'd like (the husband's health continues to slowly spiral downward and that keeps me busy) I might as well introduce myself because I'm sure there's new faces here. Long time member, Bohemian Free Spirit trapped in the...

    The Volunteer Way FREE Mobile Clinic

    Just wanted to remind everyone that if you're going to be in any place for a length of time and there's a Volunteer Way, check for their mobile health units. I've used them many times. You can get free and greatly reduced antibiotics, etc...cheaper even than local health departments who are...

    Hi, y'all! Sock Monkey Queen here!

    I always post in intros because I'm always a while between posts, so...it's like I'm new all over again. Hope everyone is well. I don't always see notifications on here (technology hates me and my old brain can't always keep up with you youngins!) so if I miss a message, hit me up at...

    Hi, y'all! Been so busy trying to keep my Outreach stocked and available to those in need, don't have a lot of time to do much else. StP is ALWAYS on my mind and I'm always available if anyone finds themselves in Pasco or Hernando counties in Florida and needs toiletries or clothes. Stay...

    Celtic battle and Fae music

    I'm a hobby musician (I'm in almost every genre from techno to space trash to heavy metal) but my favorite is my Celtic Viking music, an homage to my proud ancestry. My music is free. Download it, share it, enjoy it! Nighean Music

    Any other Celtic Travellers here?

    The term "Gypsy" is usually reserved for the Romany folk (and before anyone gets offended, just in case. ..I have a dear friend who's a Romany and she's  very proud to be called a "gypsy") but I find myself using it to describe myself, except I always throw the term, "Celtic," (I'm a Celtic...

    The Volunteer Way Free Mobile Med Unit

    Hey, y'all...not sure if I've posted this before (I've got so much going on, I sometimes get lost in my own world!) but if you find yourself in West Pasco County, the Volunteer Way has a free mobile med unit that will treat basic needs (imagine a walk in clinic...but on wheels) and NO ID is...

    Hi, y'all! Sock Monkey Queen flying through!

    How's everybody been? Remember, if you're ever in West Pasco County Florida, or the Spring Hill area of Hernando County, Florida and need clothes, toiletries or advice on where to go for showers and such while you're staying, let me know. I always have toiletries and often have clothes...

    Hi, ya'll! Sock Monkey Queen, flying through!

    It's been soooo long, I need to reintroduce myself. Anybody here I still know? Odin? Pat? Matt...hey! Anybody else, what's happening? Been busy with mundane life. I've taken my art and music back up...Celtic Viking and Gothic Ambient, so I've been busy. Not to mention, I still have my...

    This might be common knowledge...Free basic healthcare

    If you can ever find a Volunteer Way in your area or know where you're going and can track down their schedule, the Volunteer Way has a free mobile, healthcare bus. I've used it quite a few times. It's the most basic of basic, but if they can help you, they will. ✌️

    Hey, y'all! Been a LONG while!

    Anybody I know still here? The Sock Monkey Queen has dropped by for a visit. Remember...any of my fellow gypsies, nomads and hobos, if you're in my neck of the woods (West Pasco and Hernando counties, Florida) and need clothes or toiletries, let me know. I've closed Wren Hollow to the...

    Hey, ya'll! Look what crept in...ME!

    I might as well introduce myself, it's been so long since I've visited. Life gets in the way. I've made some movies, made some music, have my own Internet horror movie review show and have done a lot of voice work. Now...done (again) with the rat race and getting back to my gypsy and hippie...

    Don't get to spend as much time on here as I used to, but still like keeping up with everyone. I've taken up art, so that dominates my time. Anyway...I always make time for meeting awesome friends...especially if they're fellow STPers. Just met, Kal, today and had the best time. Safe...

    Sam the Striped Monkey's Around the World Trip!

    Hi, all! Not sure if this should go here, but I'm hoping to start a cool project. One that's been done before, mind you, but I'm hoping the vagabond and misfit traveling community will get behind this one! Meet, Sam. I made him, last night. Yes, I know he's pathetic. I'm definitely no...

    More Dirty Kids Making Us Look Bad...

    I have to rant to someone and my husband doesn't want to hear it. So, here goes. Just got back from Burger King. I didn't feel like cooking, hubs didn't feel like waiting. Pulled up to BK and outside were three dirty kids. Well, one was a dirty kid and the other two may have been homeless or...

    When living, even slightly in the mainstream, isn't the answer. As everyone knows by now, I've been helping Lisa. She lost her trailer (through no fault of her own, just another slap in the face) and called us for a ride. We offered to allow her to stay the night, on our porch, with the...

    No money? No problem!

    I'm not sure if this is actually a resource, so Matt or anyone, feel free to move it or what have you. If you're like me, you have little money, as it is, so you're leery of donating, not sure where the money will actually go. So, rather than worry about money, I have an app on my phone...

    While, I dream of a carefree life on the road, right now, that's just not possible. So, I throw myself into my activism here on the home front and sate my wanderlust with day trips, planning and dreaming. You can live pieces and parts of your dreams until you can make them materialize in full...

    One of the things I love about my job is the love of little preciouses. I make up words... ;) This little fella was found, wandering the streets, lost.

    As promised...an update and new pictures. Saw Lisa today for, I think, the last time. I've cried, I'm sad...and I'm not sure what else to do. I guess there's nothing left to do, or say. Now, it's up to Lisa and this last part of the journey is hers and hers alone. Mollie is now here, with...

    Apopka, FL

    Town where I grew up. According to my mother, if you go to the McDonalds in downtown Apopka on Main Street, and tell the cashiers that you're hungry and have no money, they'll give you a burger and drink. That, just in from my mother. She goes up there everyday and says the owner has...

    The Circle Of Life

    Maybe I should title this, "Life's Awful Ironies." This isn't about me and my gypsy travels, but rather, about Lisa, the lady I've been helping. I can't tell you what it was about her that drew me to her. Sometimes I think that old adage of people coming into your life for a reason, holds...

    But...better than nothing. Definitely did not inherit mom's green thumb. Garden just has not done well this year. Gonna get some recycled wood and build a box next year, and start in pots, rather than seeds in the ground. Florida's sugar sand, sucks to grow anything.
