ABOUT ME

How to describe myself? Would it be the truth? Even if i believed it myself? Each moment we a different, and each meeting starts anew.... I know that from week to week I have different taste, ideas, obsessions, routines. Meet the new! If you really want to know what others thought of me you can read their words.. I'd love to meet!

Oh I know.....something to share.... My favorite food is rice and to wash it all down... tea!!!!

I dance funny....it's not pretty

I'm scared of singing when others can hear me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've hosted some, surfed some, spread the word and love the idea, the people, the connectedness of it but above all just the CS way....

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Some of my favorite and most cherished companions I met through couchsurfing...... we still travel together, share time, and catch up....so much has been shared since I forget that originally we met 'online' jaja

Interests

I enjoy good company...aware people....animals....good music....making things, working out how something was made.... cooking..... trees- tall ones, stunted ones, wind swept ones and climbing them or just lying and looking up at them.....

Food (I eat vege-terrible! nah I love it! But I understand all.... I too was once behind the gun and knife) and drink-- tea please or a Malbec

books books books books...... biology....adventure, the natural world, the outdoors and the indoors, for that matter......I love learning how to do something new.....

Constructing...Deconstructing...... Exploring rivers- natures highways..... Being somewhere remote, out of the way, then coming back to urban life......

LIVING A SIMPLER LIFE is important for me, life less cluttered with 'stuff'...... Being quiet....Shouting into space..... Snuggle Puddles! Going inside.... Life's story..... Science.....The Mystics.

Sharing the natural world, especially via rivers with anyone keen to explore.
