CURRENT MISSION

Riding the Tao.

ABOUT ME

I am Australian, my husband, Casey is American/Australian and we are currently in Kentucky, USA, visiting relatives. We travel a lot, from local camping trips to big international adventures; it has become a way of life for us.

PHILOSOPHY

I do what I like and I like what I do.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have two gifts that many people are jealous of: being able to sleep anywhere, anytime; and not getting bitten by mosquitoes.

Interests

baking cakes, random dancing, general silliness, bicycles, reading, exploring, making things (sewing/knitting mostly), finding treasure, losing time in books, movies that linger after viewing, bad jokes, fruit trees, swings and hammocks, rooftops, adventures, obscure music gems, trivia & miscellany, opting out of consumerism, nice wine, swimming in the ocean, beekeeping, goats, yoga, meditation, philosophy/religion in general.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Manali to Leh (northern India) by motorbike, and all of Ladakh in general, and Kashmir too. By far the biggest and best adventure ever possible. I felt like I was in a dream for the entire six weeks and am still coming down from the high.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can give you acupuncture if I have my needles with me.
I like to cook, and I can sew.
I want to learn to be an expert bike repairer and builder (teach me to weld!), to knit something more complicated than a scarf, to keep bees, and to play the piano.
