Overview
About Me
Hola Amigos!
Mostly between Australia , Europe and South America ; currently in Europe... been on the road and largely offroad 🌱 for the past 5 years!
Truth, Freedom, Creativity, Health, Nature
This is what i gravitate toward and aspire to maintain within myself. Always seeking genuine connections. People enrich our lives in astonishing ways! i feel at home in movement, so long as i am in amazing company.
And the labels... i am a professional artist, world champion body painter, arts tutor, traveler. After a decade and a half of seeking i came back home to Christ and Orthodoxy. I adore being on the road, learning about people and places, sharing, discovering the similarities that bind us, despite the miles that separate us. Surprised by the little things that make the big difference. Learning to let go of preconceptions and keep moving with an open heart.
Top of the list of current interests: natural medicine, hiking, dance, unpretentiousness, community living, off-grid homes, real talk, wild foraging, fasting, self sustainability, bushcraft, bioconstruction, indigenous culture.
I'd much rather have a heart-to-heart conversation with a local and sleep on their floor, than go to tourist hotspots and stay in a comfortable but artificial setting.
In the last 6ish years I have blessedly followed the call and left the city to explore nature and community life, and found the beauty of simplicity. It has changed my life.

Music, Movies, and Books
Music... expresses the finesse of feelings, the nuance of moods when words just aren't enough... Music is food for the soul; i love its many forms.. from reggae to soul, funk, blues, fusion and world music, to Drum n Bass, dub, trip hop... Live music is the best! Jamming, i love singing with people 💜 i play the handpan, djembe and yidaki (didgeridoo)
Books... Born to hate reborn to love, Papillon, Mutant message down under
Movies... Life is the best movie!
