ABOUT ME

Hello!!! Its Erin Marie here, i am brit living and loving life in Austin. I recently resigned from teaching 8th grade English to travel in South America. I practice yoga daily, i love to eat and cook, I like red wine, and rum. I love being outside; hiking, swimming, running, yoga under a tree, soccer, sand volleyball. yup just count me in.
I grew up in England hand i have lived in Austin Texas for the last 6 years. Austin is wonderful! Come visit, it will blow you away. Great live music, blues sunny skies and genuine friendly people.
I love traveling too - and what better way to travel and experience the world and different cultures, by staying with local people. Life is all about making connections.

PHILOSOPHY

Love and Laugh deeply! Give and receive love openly, and stay present!

Life is to short so live it fully, have no regrets, and learn from the past - but don't dwell on it as you are not headed that way. Be present - just be. Take care on number one, which is you.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you yoga poses, i can also help you perfect your british accent. i aim to become fluent in spanish and be brilliant on the guitar. I will share my stories and learnings of life, and hope to receive yours back too. One of my favorite things about traveling is the people you meet, and the amount you learn about yourself with meeting new people. For me, when i travel... when i return i feel like the people around me have changed, but they havn't changed, its me, i have spiritually and mindfully expanded my self awareness.
