Thank you for visiting my Blog.  All blogs are prompted by some personal inspiration and mine is learning from The Gypsy Life since I have chosen to take a year to honor the wanderer in me. I am exploring the themes of living from inspiration, navigating from intuition and remembering my heritage as a Scots-Irish descendent.  In my research, I stumbled on a piece of information that I had never known about my family.  That the Stewart Clan were nomadic and considered Highland Travelers which explains my love for moving where the inspiration leads me.


I have sold most of what I own, slept on many friendly couches, been surrounded by the beauty on the road where doors have opened every place I go. The posts here are about this journey that is unfolding for me as one woman moving through the world, to learn more about the Nomadic Life, simplicity and the ways of Travelers and Gypsies please visit www.the-gypsy-life.com for the bigger story!

Welcome!  Maya Christobel
