CURRENT MISSION

To learn about the world the only way possible, with a hands on approach using the mind, body and soul as my hands, and by meeting lots of humans / To discover my inner musician / to teach, and learn from, the children of the world.

ABOUT ME

The things I live for in life are; music, art, all living things, and adventures. I first travelled in 2007 for a year and now that too is something that I just can't live without. I crave it! I have joined CouchSurfing because it is an incredible community of like-minded folk whom all have the innate desire to breathe in the wonders of the world.
I am a teacher at heart and feel that with all the injustices present in our world today, education is the key to embedding the desire to make a difference and in encouraging resepct for all living things and the ecology of life, in the minds and hearts of our children and our children's children, etc.
Overall, I am relaxed and very social, and I truly enjoy the simple things in life, like a beer and a good yarn, or a walk in the park on a sunny (or rainy for that matter!) day. I sing alot and I dance how the music tells me to.
Life is good.

PHILOSOPHY

In education, I am driven by the construction of shared meaning. I believe in the power of listening, investigating theories and creativity.
In life, I think that too many people care much too much about how others perceive them or what others think they should be doing with THEIR lives! I say, do what you want to do and be who you want to be (YEAH!). There's nothing like indulging in your dreams and aspirations.

Just began reading "Girl with the Dragon Tattoo", not sure what I think of it yet. Have also been reading various essays from "The Best Australian Essays of 2009"... GREAT stuff. Other books I've liked are; "Norweigian Wood" by Haruki Murakami, "A Thousand Splendid Suns" by Khaled Hosseini, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" and "Through the looking glass" By Lewis Carroll. "The Alchemist" (Paulo Coelho) I've read repeatedly since I was a youngin', same with "Jonathon Livingston Seagull" (Richard Bach). I like books. The smellier and older lookin, the better.
