CURRENT MISSION

Building the global community of love and friendship!

ABOUT ME

I grew up by the ocean, so l love the sea and communing with whales and dolphins when possible (there's lots where I live in Byron Bay!) I've had the privilege of travelling widely, especially in recent years now that my son is grown up and independent, although it was great to travel with him when he was young, we lived in Kathmandu, Nepal and later Hawaii for a year. In recent years I've been to Canada and the US, Turkey, France, Germany, Spain, England, Scotland, Ireland, India, and this year to Nicaragua teaching yoga for a month. So many amazing adventures!

PHILOSOPHY

Respect for all life, cooperation and understanding are critical to personal and planetary survival. Life is such a mystery and endlessly fascinating, it's a challenging time, but full of opportunity to be part of the creation of a global culture based on mutual understanding and shared resources.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have a small yoga studio in my garden in Byron Bay, it's a short walk to the beautiful long beach and I love hosting folks to share and grow in the beauty of Nature through yoga, healing and psychotherapy, bathing in the crystal clear ocean and eating from the garden.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

So many things... every day there's so much beauty and it's always inspiring to be in Nature, to share with friends, to listen, to touch and to feel a part of it all. Meeting the Dalai Lama was one of the great moments :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I love sharing yoga and meditation, bodywork and tools for self understanding. Also music - I play guitar and sing, mostly uplifting yoga chants, so am always happy to find a guitar along the way!
