About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To be like an imaginal cell in a caterpillar

ABOUT ME

I am in my mid 30s but don't feel like it. I am resisting the great australian dream. I am not averse to risks. I like to make things. My baby, Ruby, makes me joyful. When I grow up I want to be vibrant.

PHILOSOPHY

Honesty and communication are the platforms for any positive relationship. Love is what its all about. Not the hokey pokey. Although that can be fun. Learn from the past, live in the moment and look forward to the future. People are endlessly fascinating if we take the time to... laugh. Be together. Listen.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have a couch and sometimes spare room. I want to build stronger communities, connections, people. I want to hear other people's stories.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

What an adventure. Licorice allsorts, or perhaps caramels and boiled sweets. Close your eyes, take your pick and trust the universe sends what you didn't expect but perhaps needed.

Interests

I make theatre about sustainability issues and also exploring all the senses as performance mediums. I love dancing and music and cooking and sharing good food with friends. I study permaculture and horticulture and care about people and the planet.
