CURRENT MISSION

Step lightly, treat others how I want to be treated, be in the moment.

ABOUT ME

I love my life. I have two beautiful children, amazing talented funny friends, I live in an amazing colourful town and my work in the environment keeps me moving in the right direction.
I like being active, getting together for dinner, bbqs, wine or cuppas with friends. I will never stop seeking to grow and challenge myself. I am practising being brave even when I am scared. Health is important to me, eating well, buying organic when I can, looking after my body, massages, yoga + +.
Practice positivity!!!

PHILOSOPHY

Live in the moment but plan for your dreams. Visualise the future you want. Practice non attachment. Treat children (and adults!) how you would like to be treated - respect their opinions. Don't beat yourself up.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would love to offer travellers an opportunity to visit my town and show them around.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Surfed in Europe and loved all the people I met. It is hard if you can't speak each others language but its surprising how many languages you can use in one sentence when you have to!!!!
