I like to ask questions and I love to hear stories. I like to cook, especially baking. I've lived in sharehouses, dorms, and a warehouse, done my fair share of travelling, although most of it when I was quite young. Singapore is one of my favourite places in the world. I've had all sorts of jobs, from waitress to cleaner to union organiser to activist to call centre wench to animal attendant, and am now settled on energy therapist (I give reiki treatments, and am studying acupuncture in 2016). I have a science degree (Zoology) which came before the energy work. I also volunteer with the Youth Food Movement. I've done my fair share of partying, but am more a fan of tea than scotch these days. That said, I still love the occasional drink to live music, and love to have fun with good people!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Aside from the free aspect, it beats airbnb hands down for connecting with locals and getting to know the roots of a place.

Interests

I'm a rock climber, I do yoga, I crochet and read (a lot), I love swimming and the beach, and hiking up a satisfyingly steep mountain. Energy medicine and psychology are my fuel and help satisfy my endless curiosity of the internal realms.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was 7 I skied off a mountain I France (with a paraglider and another human attached). The rest of my life seems to have been trying to top that first high!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you crochet, nunchucku, energy healing, taijiquan and yoga. I love to learn anything, especially related to the human body, mind or spirit. I can share music, an energy healing session, a pot of tea and some sunshine, or be a rock hopping and swimming buddy, and I'm always partial to a bit of herb.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Other than tea and good conversation, I love to cook and clean and help with the garden, and would be happy to help out around the house (I love kids and animals too). I can also crochet you a beautiful little something for your house.
