So enjoy this moment for this moment is your life.
what is joy? It is a bird that we all want to catch. It is the same bird that we all love to see flying.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Friends call me very hospitable-I love to fill up my little heritage house with laughter, music, good food . I have had many kindnesses shown to me in my travels.Life is like a mirror and as the dali Lama says "Kindness is my religion"

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

a wonderful host in Provat in Madrid and Robin in Rome, Italy. Have hosted many from round the world.

Interests

I read voraciously, love to travel, have a large network of family and friends, and my favourite sat night thing is to cook up a big meal for 10 and invite people over at random. I have been in small theatre groups, and play the piano. My fancy dress birthday parties are legendary for. Used to run a small cafe in Kensington with lots of "characters"..which resulted in my further study of human behavior!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went to Buckingham Palace aged 12 and saw my father decorated with an MBE by Queen Elizabeth for outstanding services to NZ.He was a world famous sheep shearer and revolutionised the shearing industry. I have also dived out of a plane with a parachute. (tandom).

Teach, Learn, Share

This age is of fear, which is instilled into small children to never talk to strangers, adults who fear that chatting to you in a supermarket lineup is just prospecting for Amway candidates.We need to break down the barriers and understand each others religions, customs and be more tolerant
