About the Guest :
Malahki Thorn, originally hailing from the small city of Akron, Ohio, embarked on a life journey that took him to San Francisco at the age of 24. After spending several years in the bustling city, he settled in Northern California, where he bought a house. However, the region's frequent seasonal wildfires posed a constant threat, bringing him close to evacuation five times in a decade.
At the age of 49, Malahki made a life-changing decision to move to Viarda, a place he had loved and frequently visited on vacation. Now 51 years old, Malahki enjoys his new home in Viarda, where he continues to appreciate the serenity away from the wildfire-prone areas of California and contemplates a peaceful retirement.
