About Me
CURRENT MISSION
You can be in my dream if I can be in your dream.
ABOUT ME
A seeker at heart, I am eternal adventurer, warm, generous, always wear a big smile, and have a great sense of humour. I see the world through the eyes of an artist, and revel in being alive. I love meeting new people and finding out who they are and what they care about. I grew up on farm in Cape Town that has been in my family for 7 generations.
Last year in October I left all that I knew and loved back home to sail across the Atlantic Ocean from Cape Town to the Caribbean. 42 days and 6000 miles of sea and sky. After an amazing 6 months travelling my way across the Caribbean and Central America, I am now backpacking Europe for the summer and coming to a city near you.
PHILOSOPHY
"A path is only a path, and there is no affront, to oneself or to others, in dropping it if that is what your heart tells you . . . Look at every path closely and deliberately. Try it as many times as you think necessary. Then ask yourself alone, one question . . . Does this path have a heart?"
- Carlos Castaneda

I am a teacher by nature, and if you want to learn how to draw, unlock your creativity, mediate, or do yoga, I will be only be happy to impart what I know.
