Ricky (rickyleo)

(FYI: I will slowly be moving my content over to rickytheleo.blogspot.com.au , and I will also be posting new content on there from this point onwards.)

Just someone intent on sharing his thoughts and findings on various products, methodologies, and ways of life.

If you'd like to know more, I'm currently working full-time (in future I'll be moving over to a career in permaculture), I'm married to a naturopath, together we've had a beautiful baby girl, and we have plans on living a sustainable, green life a bit down the track (once we have money for our own land).

Until we fully realise our goals, we're doing small things here and there for fun, and for practice. Some of these things I'll be sharing in the future, and I hope someone finds them of use.

I'll also be sharing product reviews, and anything else I think might be interesting for anyone out there to think about.
