In the conventional world, I am an Administrator with a degree in Criminology and Criminal Justice. In the "real" world I am a professional Tarot Reader, published Poet, Meditation Guide and student of Astrology.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have dedicated the last 2 years to healing myself, altering unhelpful ancestral patterns and acquiring a tonne of knowledge and wisdom in the process!

I now need a well-earned break and some fresh new experiences with compassionate and down-to-earth people.

I would also love to share experiences and worldviews with a variety of people :-)

Interests

I am a professional Tarot Reader and I use my wealth of knowledge and life experience in my readings. I also use Tarot as tool for transformation as well as to ignite creativity among other things.

I have self-published a book of poetry called Shadow which explores the hidden and "darker" aspects of the psyche. I have also had a chapbook published by a small press based in Melbourne as well as having six poems published in a British Anthology.

I am currently training to be a meditation teacher and have been studying for over a year. Meditation has changed everything for me.

I have been obsessively studying Astrology for about a year now and in doing so have developed an intimate relationship with planetary energies. It has also allowed me to know myself on a very deep level.

Music, Movies, and Books

I particularly enjoy heavy metal, indie and arty films and any book that can maintain my interest (usually non-fiction).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In 2013, I learned basic Spanish before flying to Ecuador to teach disadvantaged primary school children all school subjects (in Spanish) at their school which was located 3,500 metres high in the Andes mountains. I did all of this while struggling with intense social anxiety.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you some simple meditation techniques so you can ground and relax yourself whenever you need to!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can do Tarot and Astrology readings as well as guide and teach meditation for you! And it would be my pleasure to do so!

I can also share my unique worldview and the wisdom and insights I've gained through my seemingly relentless challenges and my healing journey.
