Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
I am going to fulfil my wonderlust and enjoy meeting FABULOUS people along the way.
ABOUT ME
I am a very Positive Happy person,
with off the wall sense of humour.
One life, live it mentality.
Treat everyone as I like to be treated.
I love meeting new people but forming lasting
friendships.
I can talk but I prefer to listen.
I want to meet interesting, clever, well travelled,
funny, exciting people. BUT YOU WILL DO JUST FINE ;-)
PHILOSOPHY
Late starter but..
ONE LIFE, LIVE IT
with a HUGE SMILE and an open mind.
Currently getting my head around the 'Laws of Attraction' Philosophy. I have always thought in a
positive way so my life has always been good and just
always seems to be getting better.
I rarely stress about the past or worry about the future. I try ( NOT ALWAYS EASY ) to live in the NOW
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I have really enjoyed meeting the friendly people on Coushsurfing. They all seem to share one quality and that is KINDNESS and like an automatic trust...I love that, it is so refreshing. The more you put in the more you get out. Like a Good Karma.
THE WORLD IS FULL OF FUTURE FRIENDS I HAVE NOT YET MET
I have joined many CS groups including Exeter group cos it is such a lovely little city in SW England that I am lucky enough to live and work in.
Happy to give advice to anyone who wants to ask.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Had my first fabulous experience of couch surfing
with wonderful people in Cape Town 5yrs ago.
Blown away by the kindness and warm hearts of the Couch-surfers I have stayed with and partied with.
I have hosted and surfed with loads of great and inspirational people over the years. Without CS'ing our paths would prob never have crossed.
I just enjoy it more and more. To stay in a souless
hotel room in a new city/place now, would just be dissapointing! after being taken into peoples HOMES ;-)hearing all about the real place, customs, people food, attractions etc
The whole CS concept is just so exciting.
Interests
I Loooove being in or on water....preferably warm seas.
Socialising, laughing, sharing stories.
I am a Dragon Boater and race for both Exeter and had
the privalige to race for GB.
I enjoy walking, kayking, cyling.
I LOVE PARTY'S, DANCING AND CARNIVAL
I want to snorkel in the barrier reef (i tried scuba but I get too excited to breath in a regular way when I see anything)
I ALSO LOVE TO EAT, COOK AND SHARE FOOD.

Music, Movies, and Books
Too diverse a list to mention.
EASIER TO SAY WHAT I DON'T LIKE
That is anything too heavy or too serious.
I love a good Rock ballad to sing along to, or play air guitar :-) but I love to do cleaning to a strong classical piece or maybe Queen.
I will attempt to DANCE to any music even just a drum beat.
One of my fav artists. because her music and words can both lift me and make me cry (plus I have listened to her ALL my life) is JOAN ARMARTRADING.
Movies-Completely eclectic.
Books- After years of reading trash I am now more decerning. I have started asking people I meet what is
their favourite book and trying out some different stuff. It is great. My current
'THE POWER OF NOW' is not a great read but it is life changing in a positive way.
One amazing host 'Soulfood4U' AKA Jocelyn actually gave me a book she thought I needed..
'ILLUSIONS The adventures of a Reluctant Messiah' by Richard Bach. WOW is all I can say. X
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Had twin girls, Done a skydive, Flown a plane, Been in a hot Air balloon, Rode horses, elephants and camels, Swam in heavenly turquoise warm seas, Sat on the top ot table mountain, Walked many amazing coastal walks, Awesome White water rafting, Seen wild Orangutans (my fav animal,)Snorkelled in amazing places, danced in the Sambadromo Rio, and many other carnivals all over the world :0) including our own Notting Hill
Lots of amazing things but feel there is still lots to come....;-)
Teach, Learn, Share
Both a student of Life with a lust for leaning about
lives and customs of others and an enthusiastic
teacher of so many subjects including aromatherapy and
bringing out the best in people, as we all have talents and the ability to earn from them.
I can pos take you DRAGON BOATING in my club in Exeter
