About Me
Hello!
My name is Natascha.
Welcome to my Humboldt Lifestyle Blog. I became a permanent Humboldt County resident in August 2020 after returning from Southern California over the course of six years.
I have found the forest to spark my spirituality, the culture gives me space to create, and the forever growing and changing marijuana community to provide healing medicine for myself and my community.
In my blog, you will find local news on artists, events, cannabis cultivation, and general life hacks.
