Better late than never!

Post by nikki_lareinepetite » Wed Apr 27, 2016 6:45 pm

I realized this morning after 2 years of being a member of eplaya I never posted an intro post. Woops! So here it is:

My name is Nicolette, I make my home in Portland but I am really from all over the place. I attended Burningman for the first time in 2014, where I finally felt at home and got engaged to my lovely husband. In my personal life, I am a doula, birth educator, student clinical herbalist and business owner. In the next few years I will be attending school to become a midwife.

As for BM, I grew up with stories and photo albums from this amazing place. My biodad was a long term burner and I have ALWAYS feld the call to go. I can't even begin to describe my first experience on the playa, as they always say next year is buttahhh. Anywho, I peruse eplaya regularly as I am an avid researcher and love to be prepared. Currently my hubs and I are making plans for building our own shade structure and canvas tent and so a lot of research is being done on that at the moment.

I felt really fortunate my first year, as there wasn't anything hugely glaring that I seemed to miss. Just minor things, though I am ALWAYS looking for ways to improve. (never again a tiny two person tent omgggg).

Anywho, thats me :roll: ***smooch***

Hey there, welcome to eplaya!

When I was a kid I used to pray every night for a new bicycle.
Then I realized that the Lord doesn't work that way so I stole one and asked Him to forgive me
