House Sitter in Santa Cruz, California

GREETINGS: Introducing Lanai Winter…ME )’( My current living space is becoming an Airbnb rental, so I’m searching for a new abode. I’m desiring a non-smoking room/space with 170’, safe parking, electricity, bathroom & shower access (a tub would be wonderful too) and kitchen & internet access. An outdoor area with a garden that I might tend to would be icing on the proverbial cake ;~} DETAILS: I enjoy laughter, harmony, healthy/nutritious/delicious food (that I usually prepare myself), kindness, abundant nature/light, peaceful/clean environs, giving service, meditating (but not in a pompous, icky way), dancing, stretching, and people with positive, uplifting, compassionate & "everything is figureoutable" attitudes. I do not have any pets, diseases/maladies and/or secret aliases.
