I'm tempted to just delete all the old information and rewrite! It's been years since I've updated this. I'm now a mum to a wonderful little boy, studying nursing at university full time and always walking my kelpie (an Australian sheep dog).

CURRENT MISSION

To experience and to smile, be happy and share that happiness.

ABOUT ME

When I was 19 I left Australia to return eight years later with many fantastic adventures. My travels have taught me alot about myself and who I want to be. I love to laugh and learn everywhere I go. I'm easygoing. I love water, under it or on it. I hike, ride motorbikes, have a 4wd and I love going for a rock climb or kite board (but not great at either) so I suppose you can say I love anything out doors and adventurous. Live music is fantastic, all of it, I have very varied tastes.

PHILOSOPHY

I love being me. I love lots. I'm a really easy going person and I'm generally always smiling, even when I'm dead tired from working two jobs, I'm still having a joke and giving lots of hugs. I love sharing, touching, always massaging heads, hand and feet! I love new information, I love NLP.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I haven't actively participated on couchsurfing for many years now, although dad's couchsurfers have often come and stayed at mine for a stint.

A live in an old house with a separate big old room set up for guests in the back garden. If you stay you need to like dogs and be aware I keep bees but they never bother anyone.

Music, Movies, and Books

Love reading but try not to read in bed cos otherwise I stay up all night reading. Usually non-fiction but will read anything recommended.
Music I've already listed in interests...
Movies.. hmmm.. well I rarely go to cinema. Never watch on my on, enjoy them but I've usually got lots going on so I'm never up to date on movies. Love documentaries.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Swimming with a whale shark... Bonding with a wild roughtooth dolphin... taking the time to stop and look around and smile.

Teach, Learn, Share

Try.. take it out of your language. Do it or don't.

Learn to accept and take on feedback (sometimes called criticism). Usually it is well meaning coming from someone that cares about you and is telling you to help you. Thank them and then do what you like with it either take it on board or don't.
