Ok... this sounds VERY interesting and intriguing. AND definitely something I want to read and learn more about.
I have never heard of it but am definitely interested in possibly getting involved with.
Using ones skills to barter, get services or what you are in need of is exactly how things were done before currency became a concrete thing. Everything was abstract... barter and trade.
This post actually made me smile and think.
Glad you liked it @goldendawne. The concept really does align well with the "old world" ideals that my husband and I seem to gravitate towards. I've got to wait for an orientation to sign up fully but I was able to peek at some of the listings and it's really becoming more and more intriguing.
All of a sudden those skills we've pushed to the side because they don't fit this life are possibly relevant and beneficial to us again and perhaps I can indulge in something that I can't really be spending money on like a massage or yoga class in exchange ... that to me is so cool! There's just so much potential.
