I've been teaching abroad for the last several years (special needs and English), and am going through a major life rethink - a happy one!

Что привело меня на Couchsurfing

I'm entering a new chapter of life after a long recovery from dengue fever that I contracted working in Bali, Indonesia. I'm on my journey to fulfill my life's purpose, which includes working on a native reservation in the next few months.

Интересы

Travel, of course. People. Argentine tango. Ecstatic dance & contact improv. Spontaneous healing and movement therapies. Desert herbalism. Mindfulness practices. Shamanism and spiritual schtuffs. Writing (for myself). My students.

Музыка, кино и книги

I love soulful music, and live music - not stuck on a genre.

I rarely see films, but like creative, thinking ones.

At the time of writing, I'm reading a book on Kadampa Buddhism, and several on the Havasupai tribe of the Grand Canyon.

Also, mulling over those books I keep meaning to finish.

Классная вещь, которую я сделал(-а)

singing to a jaguar in the Sonoran desert

being a fly on the wall of a conversation between a Palestinian friend and an Israeli friend over coffee in Bali and seeing them hug and say goodbye in each others' native tongues

having my ear nibbled by a wild baby camel

being invited to eat fresh-caught crab and drink a homemade brew with Cambodian fishermen

visiting with the last remaining family in a traditional Omani village

breathing and life itself

Учу, учусь, делюсь опытом и информацией

I can tincture your herbs, make preserves and natural body products. Let me know ahead of time, and I can prepare for it. Or, I'll just take out the trash!

Чем я могу поделиться с хостами

Tango lessons! Help looking after kids and help in your garden if I'm not traveling with a purpose.
