About GypsyJonga
After a short but arduous life journey, I am now a mother, a writer, a nonprofit development professional, a wife, a photographer and just generally confused.
My background is in politics, philosophy, rural economic development, anarchy and punk (although I can’t remember most of that).
I grew up on a tobacco farm, then lived in the haven of the different called Asheville, North Carolina, then lived in the icon to money called Charlotte, North Carolina. I presently live in a very interesting place.
I dropped out of college the first time I went, believing that smarts and experience would get me anything I needed. I returned to school when I was 25 and graduated at age 29 with a B.A. in International Studies.
Life is only getting bigger.

I did do that picture myself. It is a giant Ficus Benjamina tree in the Royal Botanical Gardens of Sri Lanka. It covers 2,989 square yards and is beyond beautiful!
