About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I have just joined couchsurfing as am travelling in Russia and I can't read the writing or speak the language! Couchsurfing has helped me to meet some lovely Russian people who speak English and so can share their culture with me!!

ABOUT ME

I love life and live it to the full. I especially love sunrise, sunset, rainbows, waterfalls, rivers, lakes and forests! Of course, I enjoy walking on the beaches and swimming in the Caribbean sea in Barbados!! Laying in my hammock reading a good book and listening to good music is fun too!!! as well as working in my garden and spending time with friends. I also love drumming and bonfires!!

PHILOSOPHY

Life is too short to be serious!! I love to laugh and to
dance! That is how life should be lived with laughter, singing, dancing and music!! You can be serious when you
are dead!! That's a very good time to be serious!! But
when you're alive you should be having fun and doing everything with a 'happy' energy!!!and be grateful for
all the goods things you have in your life and in nature!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am traveling at present and am very happy to share my traveling experiences, and on my return home I have the
possibility of being a host!
eg: In the Metro in Paris, people hold the exit doors open for you, in Moscow, they let them slam in your face!!!!I just experienced that all day today!!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I was very worried about arriving in Moscow City Airport after midnight, travelling by myself and not knowing the language! So I became a member of Couchsurfing and straight away Alexandra offered me a place to stay! Not only that, she also arranged for a taxi to meet me at the airport and even waited up for me til I arrived! I felt really bad as the plane was an hour late, but bless her heart she was there to meet me when the taxi arrived at her apartment! and the next day she showed me how to get to the Red Square and helped me buy a MEtro Ticket and gave me a map and introduced me to the Russian Metro - not easy! A big thank you to Alexandra Ezberova and also to her mother who so kindly made me Borscht!! and a big thank you to Couchsurfing, what a wonderful idea!!
Also Zafer Kunar contacted me through couchsurfing and very kindly met me in his car and took me to the boat dock so I could enjoy a wonderful boat ride on the river through Moscow, a big thank you to Zafer too! I am looking forward to the next lovely people I meet through Couchsurfing!!! I am off to Krasnodar tomorrow!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I Travel with the Angels and bring the people I visit good luck and blessings wherever I go!
I have met some truly wonderful people and had some really amazing experiences, which I am in
the process of writing books about!
After writing this, I was in the Red Square and I asked
a man to take a photo of me in front of the Cathedral there, when I looked at him closely he was wearing a Tshirt which had a picture of an Angel on it and it said "I am an Angel",so even in the Red Square my Angel was there!!

Teach, Learn, Share

I teach vegetarian cooking to anyone who's interested as well as Healthy Body, Healthy Mind, and Brain Integration Techniques for children and adults! I have also taught candle-making, pottery, swimming, as well as French and English!!
I love to learn from anyone who has something interesting to teach me!!
