SAY HELLO TO THE LILLS!
We’re Alex and Lara Lill, a 24-7/365 couple, focused on learning, building and teaching A Simple Life With Big Adventures!
After traveling in our 1978 VW Bus for over 2+ years, life led us to a 1961 GM Bus in the New Mexico desert. We’re now converting it into a home on wheels!
Come along with us, as we educate ourselves and share alternative views on life, love, energy, food and travel.

Last Thanksgiving we went to the supermarket and an employee told us the grocery had prepared itself with 10,000 turkeys ready for sale. This was at one store in the little port town in South Carolina we called home. Supposedly there are over 38,000 grocery stores in...
read moreMOKSHA
We always wanted a simple life with big adventures, so when we picked up our VW bus, we immediately named him Moksha. It represents our dream of living for the experiences, instead of material, money or fame. There is a sense of universal support that comes with...
read moreCLOUD SEEDING, CHEMTRAILS & CREATING ENVIRONMENT

read moreCOLLEGE DEGREE vs SELF TAUGHT
Maybe it’s because we’re creatives or because we run our own business, but it feels like we’re always being asked if we went to college to learn our skills or if we were self-taught. The thing is, one of us went to one of the top art schools in...

read more1 DOES NOT EQUAL 1?
One of our Dads is a bit of a number cruncher and tends to think outside the box. He mentioned something to us that we couldn’t dismiss. He said 1 does not equal 1. He explained that when using fractions, 1/3 + 1/3 + 1/3 = 1 and that made sense to us. Then he...
