About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To ever awaken and dance the ultimate cosmic jive

ABOUT ME

Right now I am learning how to open my heart further and dream of being a marauding storyteller (or at least rambler).
I am eager to meet you.

I dance and love life. I am in love. I am in life.
Slowly growing into and out of the endless possibilites of being. That infinite is delicious. So much joyous feasting. I hope to continue to learn and unlearn and to find my unique expression.

I come as a duo, my troubadour bumpkin man Ben Taylor and I wander this fine earth together, heel clicking our way through dancing days...life is one sweet boogie!

Ben has an exceptional heart and a mind that is ever growing and exploring. He is open, gentle and full of love. He will challenge you and lift you to new heights with wit and unbridled eagerness for whatever you have to offer. He is an exceptional soul, and you will be inevitably touched by meeting with him.

Together we discover the world, each others mirror and teacher, learning apart and together.

PHILOSOPHY

Don't bring anything into a situation. Just be in it. Be alive. Listen and speak and look around. Dance. Love. It is the foundation of all things.

Laugh with the cosmic giggle. I hope that mischievous fluxes will forever be playing tricks on my sense of comfort.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

While I am an infant in this brilliant project, I am here to throw my energies into it, sharing experience and opening my world to those that wander in.

At the moment we are travelling, but I hope to give a bright smile and all my enthusiasm to anyone who is willing to put me up in their home. Once I do have a house any person who shares the same ideas about this beautiful community and loves to travel will be more than welcome to stay with us.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

All have been blessed experiences. Some have been remarkably crazy.

I have had some very special and enlivening experiences surfing the couch wave. All have been blessed. Some have been outrageous. So much brilliance, times of joy and learning. I thank all those who have welcomed me into their home.

Interests

Oh it's such a beautiful journey out of the coccoon, in wonderment learning that EVERYTHING is interesting!

Give me the sensory pursuits and the intellectual projectiles...love, life, that rhythm that courses through my heart and out again. Colour and raucous laughter.

I am passionate about music. It cycles in and invites me forward. It warms my heart and connects me to all that have been before and what may yet be. Within, it awakens. Bring on a good stomp in the dirt and the realisation that we are all just frequencies interacting...with emotions and ideas to channel anew.

I love my friends, my family, my lover, my books and writing pad. Maps. I am learning the joy of painting...creating colours where there was none and allowing an inner beauty to arise with this new mirror.

Haiku's...what brilliant platforms.

Passionate people. Storytelling. Listening to the earth. Wandering and feeling. Dancing! I LOVE to dance!!!
And make tea.

And revel in the process it takes to have an experience.
