ABOUT ME

Traveller of the mind, land, cosmos and stories.

I am creative type and enjoy making beautiful things for people, wellbeing and nature. Teaching tai chi drives home passion, I have a children's story to be published. Travel is the joy my soul demands, freeing the mind from itself, stillness is my home. I treasure new experiences in new places, cultures and letting the stories of people unfold around food and smiles and local vibes.

PHILOSOPHY

Smiling is crucial. Stay close to the ground, live for an open heart and earth feelings, fly when the heart presents its way; slowly slowly, quickly quickly.
