About Me

CURRENT MISSION

simply love

ABOUT ME

I am always changing, absorbing, wandering. I'm a dancer, A hugger, a smiler, a musician, a lover, a friend, an explorer, a yogi, a free spirit, a contemplator, a philosopher, a child, a gypsy, a listener, a star gazer, a friend to all, an artist, a student, a teacher, a lover of tea, and whatever else I so happen to feel like being or doing.

PHILOSOPHY

My personal philosophy is an ever expanding, swirling puddle of beautiful ideas. I have some weird and wonderful philosophies and discussing/challenging them with friends new and old is key to deepening and expanding my consciousness. Some things I believe in most strongly are honesty, kindness and the present moment.

The only constant thing is change.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm going to be in Europe from July 2014 onwards, starting in scandinavia. I'm looking for friends, couches and spontaneous merriness!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've hosted many travellers over the past few years in Australia. I love being able to share different cultures, food and stories (yeah like everyone here I think). I've also stayed on many people's couches while travelling :) I'm new to the couch surfing website though!

Interests

I play music, draw, read, wander & make some macrame jewelery. I love cooking delicious vegetarian food, hiking, playing with poi, drinking tea, dancing & star gazing :)

Music, Movies, and Books

I love any music that makes my heart dance! So many wonderful melodies out there, lets sit together and share our favourites!

A couple of books that I love are Brida, The Power of Now, The Alchemist, Dr. Seuss Books & The Obernewton Chronicles..

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Some of my favourites are galloping across the Mongolian steppe, endless walks along the beach with my dog, and countless sunrises/sunsets & moon gazing moments :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I love grass roots sharing of knowledge/skills/ideas/passions. Some crafty things that I carry with me and can teach you are...

- Wrapping stones and gems into beautiful hanging decorations and jewellery
- Crocheting :) maybe some little flowers, a teapot cosy, doilies, scarfs..
- Music! I play a few little tunes on my guitar, we can swap, share, sing, laugh, learn :)
- Poi
