CURRENT MISSION

Taking a little step back from my online business for a couple of months to do some volunteer work in California.

Practical and intuitive. Always writing and inspiring, I take life's lessons and pass them along to my online tribe. Positive, thoughtful and capable.

PHILOSOPHY

Be kind and live a life of purpose; listen to your intuition and contribute to the world in your own unique way.

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have a natural tendency to help people to let go of their stress and enjoy life more. I have the ability to help people to talk through their situation and come out the other end with more insight and even a solution if that's what they're seeking. And I'm a great cook! :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

It's been a long time! In Sept 2012 I Couchsurfed in Stockholm, bunking up with an Indian student and a Spanish traveler - we stayed up until the early hours watching movies and then spent the day on a walking tour of Stockholm. I was grateful for the fun and unusual experience!

Interessen

I write songs, and I sing very well and play guitar quite badly.

I'm fascinated by our purpose, why we do stuff and what makes life fulfilling - I guess that's spirituality, philosophy, psychology...

I've spent time in monasteries, I meditate, do yoga when the mood takes me, and walk or cycle everywhere when possible.

I adore dogs, and appreciate art, culture and nature.

I'm that person who can miraculously put a well balanced meal together when there is "nothing" in the fridge...

Musik, Filme und Bücher

I tend to hold on to reference books - atlases, dictionaries, that sort of thing. Everything else I pass onward - there's no point something sitting on a shelf. I particularly loved the book Pay It Forward - what a beautiful concept. Music?Everything from breakbeat to kirtan!

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

An artwork installation in London by Richard Wilson called 20:50. Basically, a room half-filled with black engine oil so that the oil reflects the ceiling and you think it's the floor. Walking down the "gangplank" into the room, I was clueless until the gallery attendant softly blew into the oil to make ripples. My entire perspective turned upsidedown in an instant. Incredible.

Lehren, lernen, teilen

Something I want the whole world to understand:

Gratitude. Without it, you have nothing. With it, you have everything.

Was ich mit Gastgebern teilen kann

Intelligent and insightful conversation, reiki, life coaching, singing to your guitar playing, cooking (I'll show you how to make a really simple yet totally mean banana bread!), great company, and a little help around the house! :)
