Okay so how does she get money to live? The free spirit stuff is all great but reality is you need some funds to live. Assuming the house sitting gig is free. Bit of grifting going on? There’s a bunch of older women living alone in similar places – they write books or work remotely to support themselves. Life’s a bit harder for them.
Honestly, I think you've made a pretty good argument for sticking around California over the last several weeks.
Gabriel, Nice meeting with your old Friend, Hallo Jakie How are You, Nice alone lived, S
Jackie is delightful!
Jacqui and Sterling are great people, Gabriel! 😊 Super sweet ladies! 😎✌️
You're in my neck of the woods! Check out the Mystery Spot if you get a chance!
You have good friends, Gabriel 💫💫 That cake looked amazing. 😸😸 And a sojourn in the Santa Cruz Mountains prior to embarking to distant parts === happy travels💫💫
I loved the doggy, he is gorgeous. Beautiful place and beautiful friend.
Living alone and being alone so much is overrated and not conducive for a long life
I don’t believe in it
Jacqui is such a lovely person. She has a very earthy and calming vibe. Beautiful walk through the redwoods. Makes one question what’s important in life. Thanks for these glimpses into your friend’s lives this series. Will check out her YouTube channel. Cheers from Greece finally!
What a beautiful place to live. Truly lucky women.
They say "A way to a man's heart is his stomach", I think she may be trying to snag Gabe!😉

Wow Jacqui please adopt me…!
Love this lady her vibe is so cool,she automatically puts a smile on your face with her positive attitude
Hi Gabriel, that was spectacular. Santa Cruz woods are awesome. Jacqui is so spiritual, a great person to hook up with. I love California; that whole vibe with nature and nature healing is one of the most special places on earth. The incredible art of plants for healing ailments: nature's true medicine. Of course, Jacqui wanted you to connect with the energy of the earth by taking your shoes off and hugging the tree; you receive that energy. You do it all the time at the beach.
