About Me

CURRENT MISSION:
I am embarking on a European adventure and living in the UK. This has been a long time coming~

I guess it's always to grow~ evolve and be the best person i can be.
Live without fear.. ( a constant effort)
To be in the moment
To let the creative juices flow
To laugh everyday.
To discover the gifts i have to share with the world
To live in alignment with nature as much as possible~

ABOUT ME
Open minded, eccelectic, a feeler, i can pick up energy super easy, i think & feel life a lot, sometimes too much. I've had many experiences...it's both beautiful and whoa~ thats life. Its a crazy ride.
I'm interested in alternative ways of being, living learning growing- always**~ singin n swayin like a daisy...clicking away on the good ol analogue, taking photos is a passion, dancing , hugs , laughs,meditation, ridin..strollin..rollin, laying on the earth watching the sky, cooking, swimming in ocean rivers..fountains! music!! Sing a longs, cups of tea, beers, wines, smoothies, deep & meaningful conversations or chit chat or silence, movies, food oh glorious food- i aim to be conscious of the what i buy, eat but also you just have to be grateful to have food in your belly!
Wandering, animals noises, crafts, movement ,gardening, drawing, dress ups.the list goes on and on..

PHILOSOPHY

I have so many of them...they all meet in the middle though..
Being the change: i am really working on this..moment by moment~ being gentle with myself and others~ making smart decisions concerning consumption, waste, etc
Trusting trusting trusting in the great mystery.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Our house had the pleasure to host few years back which was incredible!
I am so looking forward to meeting and sharing life through this experience.
Being hosted is also super wonderful. Travelling a magic but it's also challenging & confronting sometimes. I am honestly so greatful to the people who have been open to offer there homes. It's truly touching... Even if it's for a short period & we only get to share a cup of tea.. It a memory, a moment in time in each other's lives.
