CURRENT MISSION

to work out what my mission is...

ABOUT ME

I am a traveler, writer, photographer, philosopher, reader, lover & fighter. I take too many photos but cannot stop once I get started. I love technology, sharing information, life off the grid, I like to be creative in how I make income, I love working for exchanges (the LETS system is my utopia) and learning new things.

I do a little web-design, clothing design and love screen printing and would like to be the first person to create a traveling screen printing kit! What else?... I live in Guatemala but Melbourne, Australia is my 'home' i want to WOOF around the USA, Eastern Europe, South America...well, I want to travel to everywhere I have yet to see...and return to places I have been and loved! Yay for travel!

Ok so I am very enthusiastic about this couch surfing business and feel very happy indeed to be part of it. Nice one cool citizens of Planet Earth! Amen!

PHILOSOPHY

(& or quotes & i prefer quotes)

*What really counts in life is that at some time you have seen something, felt something which is so great, so matchless, that everything else is nothing by comparison, that even if you forgot everything you would never forget this -Søren Kierkegaard

*When thought becomes excessively painful, action is the finest remedy -Salman Rushdie

*It's up to you not to heed the call-up.
You must not act the way you were brought up -The Clash

*Another world is not only possible, she is on her way. On a quiet day, I can hear her breathing-Arundhati Roy
