CURRENT MISSION

To discover the truth about who I am, the world and the universe, and find true inner-peace.

ABOUT ME

I quit my job in early 2007 because I believe my life is too short to use it sitting in an office making money for big companies. Instead, I decided to follow my dreams, and learnt to sail and appreciate all that life at sea has to offer. So I did that. Then I started travelling the world. I got several job offers and decided to take one, so ended up back in Peru in 2008, and stayed until 2012. Recently I met the love of my life who is Dutch, and we decided to come to Australia together and stay and work here for a while. Now, what to do next??? :)

PHILOSOPHY

- I strive to live in the moment.
- I strive to dream big and have faith.
- I strive to show love to all living things.
- I strive to be truthful, but try to be kind with myself.
- I strive to learn and challenge everything I 'know'

More recently, I've delved into my true discovery of spirituality... its a journey of the soul that I'm really only just beginning.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Wow one is so hard to select. I guess the one that stands out for me in recent times is that in 2007 I volunteered as a crew member to sail on a yacht for 2 months, on the open ocean of East Coast Australia (with no prior sailing experience) from South Australia to the Whitsundays. I have never thrown up so much in my entire life!!! I have never been so cold, seen so many magnificant seas, skys, sunrises and sunsets, dolphins, whales, tropical paradises, and confined to a small space with 3 others 24 hours a day 7 days a week for 2 months.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach - beginner rythm guitar its fun I love it. I have a corporate & management background, done a bit of recruiting and team management and am good at helping people with interview preparation and delivery process and related skills.
Learn - There is so much I am interested in so surprise me! (Except don't talk about football... or spiders haha)
Share - My great company!!! decent cooking and housekeeping skills, a few (mandatory) wines, conversation, and anything else i have to hand at the time that I can give.
