About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Making the most of my next adventure.

ABOUT ME

I love to live quietly, I'm a country person, love to be out in the trees or on the beach, listening to the sounds of the winds and tides.
I travel on a shoestring and I am inspired every day by the generosity of people and my very good fortune to be able to travel in such friendly company,
Oh, I'm vegetarian (mostly).
I prefer to host older travellers.

PHILOSOPHY

Follow the Buddhist path, love the simplicity of the essence ot the teachings. Mostly my thought is always to become a better person, practice generosity and loving kindness.
