Overview
About Me
I don't know where to start as so much has changed in the last few years, and Couchsurfing has everything to do with that. Thank you Cs!
I spent the last 15 years adulting - running my own businesses and getting shit done. Although I am grateful for the skills I learnt along the way, I decided that being busy and stressed was a supreme waste of life and, although the social norm, definitely not why we were born....
So I quite my business and started 'being' more. Travelling, walking the pathless path, remembering what is important to me and following a strong desire to live in the moment. I love meeting amazing people and am pleased to discover that my life was full of amazingness all along, I just wasn't seeing it.
I had a fantastic husband and now 18 year old daughter who were mildly amused at my change of heart. I am blessed that we allow each other to be whatever we want without trying to fit the usual social rules.
We are nowhappily divorced and I'm roaming the world with no plan.
Beyond this, I will just be waffling! Let's meet, and you will find out - I'm just me! Authenticity is important, honesty, humour and kindness. From those principals we should all just enjoy our lives!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
To connect! I love it!!!! I love slipping into a community of interesting people and sharing whatever is there to be shared.
Interests
I'm currently learning Dutch, guitar, how to chill out and let life happen, to be more vulnerable.....Taoism has always been a wonderful companion.
- music
- guitar
- dancing like a fool
- consciousness
- great food, i'm vegan-esque (not rigid)
- challenging, deep conversations
- quiet societal revolution
- horse travel
Music, Movies, and Books
Cat empire, The Waifs, Blues, folky-rocky stuff, blue grass, anything with good lyrical meaning and musicianship. I love swapping music and spottify has been revolutionary!
Books - tom robbins, Taoism..... Can't think right now, but i read broadly and love swapping book recommendations.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Whatever is my current fancy - everything is amazing if you're into it. Just recently I welded a chain saw chain into a piece of steel bar to make a knife. I'm pretty pleased with that effort!
Teach, Learn, Share
I am a hopeless teacher but Im happy to share anything I know, and sometimes I share things that come thru me randomly also..... And, I make shit up as well - but google says I'm not very good at that.
What I Can Share with Hosts
Anything I have that is of interest. Help with fixing things; trippy, deep, stupid, random, cosmic conversations, I can cook, I like to help out, a good belly laugh, whatever floats our boat.
