ABOUT ME

Let's see....I'm a warm, curious person who laughs pretty much all the time. I love meeting new people and experiencing new cultures - I particularly love picking up bits of languages and listening to/exploring local music in the places I travel to.
I'm a bit of a daydreamer, but am very down to earth at the same time...I'm easily distracted and love people watching. I play the guitar and sing, and love opportunities to share and jam with others. I like being outdoors in green places, especailly near water, lakes or coast, anywhere where you can swim! I'm interested in learning more about self-sustainable living..I also do a bit of meditation and would love to make it a more regular thing. I ask lots of questions - mostly good ones - and I love coriander.

PHILOSOPHY

Accept uncertainty - it's always going to be there.
You can learn something from everything and everybody, so you should never discount any experience or encounter - no regrets.
Be kind, whenever possible.
Listen more.
