My personality, character and temperament in the third person:

From the fiery passionate lioness, to the loving peacemaker, to the playful adventurer, Anatolia is a being of many faces.

A lover of fantasy and sci-fi, Anatolia seeks to find the magic in every moment and revel in it. A fast learner and keen student, Anatolia can be found exploring varied topics and adventures. In doing so she feels into every moment without bringing her past thoughts, experiences and ego into every situation like a weight.

She endeavours to speak her truth calmly, carefully and passionately but is not limited by it, which means she has been known to question her own predisposed beliefs mid sentence and to consciously allow them to evolve.

Forever curious and open, Anatolia finds delight, wonder and a lesson to be learnt in all experiences and topics of conversation. A close friend one told her animatedly 'You're so easy to talk to, I feel like if I started talking about necrophilia you'd' probably not batt an eyelash and ask how many days is the appropriate amount of time before the flesh spoils and the game is up.'

Despite spending her formative years confused, depressed and unsure about her journey, Anatolia is now a positive being who cherishes the beauty, horror and absurdity of life and enjoys the disparity of both appreciating wholeness just as she is, whilst also thirsting for nourshing and exciting experiences.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

Why not put myself in unexpected situations to meet lovely people whilst exploring new places? You never know where connections will lead...

Looking for transformative chats, eating and exploring with others, dancing and knowing that I'm in a safe place to rest my weary head for a few nights.

兴趣

What makes me come alive, juices me, lights me up about being incarnate on the planet at this time:

The power of knowing that life is a choose your own adventure game excites me. Because of this, I feel a passion in exploring magic in the everyday.

I feel excitement at learning new skills or knowledge, and meeting like minded people who want to use their skills and knowledge to let their soul shine.

I love meeting strangers who end up being significant, camping, forest/mountain hiking, reading in nature/in hammocks, dancing, checking out wacky shows, playing card/board games until the wee hours, people watching, moonlit wandering, rituals ...

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Recently in New Zealand, I found myself at a Spanish music street festival. I decided I wanted to give money to buskers who I could feel were really playing from their heart. So I willingly and lovingly gave energy in the form of money for their sweet strains of energy in the form of music. The next day, when walking down the street a $10 note flew past and landed at my feet. That was a beautiful lesson that when we give from our heart without expectation, magic happens.

教，学，和分享

I've been told I have a knack for entertaining by reading stories and my poetry. I'm also a travelling yoga nidra teacher so I can take hosts on an inner journey of rest and relaxation!

I can cook delicious vegetarian food. I can also lead hosts through a yoga nidra experience.
