The Mayers - Briggs personality test is one of the most interesting things I've found that describes me...I'm an INTJ ...https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/INTJ

People usually say I'm quirky, (well INTJs are only a 0.8% of the population so that might explain it!;) I think it's because I just don't take things as most people have decided they should be and make my own rules - when the crude reality allows it ;) -

I try to enjoy the little things, as very often my life has kept me too busy to enjoy the big ones...

I believe in pragmatism, unless an idea can be applied, it won't work :) hence with all the nonsense that is out there, I spend probably too much time thinking of how things could be done better... I try to make things better if I have the chance...but you can't change the whole world hey...

I think I would have been a hippy in the 60's 70's :) with flowers in my hair

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because why not.... you never know what interesting people are out there or what experiences you could share/have.... and you can learn something from most experiences...

Interests

Open minded, this year quite unexpectedly I've been learning about meditation, (the NHS is soul destroying) ..... I like the philosophy/self help related books....
Interested in making vegetarian meals, also learning about this.
I love animal protection, and try to be active on it, hate bull fighting! love dogs...especially mine:) I'd much rather have a dog than a baby, several reasons..
Gardening...gardens..the outdoors..travelling.... the peace in the countryside...
I like drawing and decorating, experimenting, creative stuff...I love the impressionism, Monet, Van Gogh..

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Transfers for tiles:)

Teach, Learn, Share

Well I've done the cert in teaching in clinical practice so I learnt some principles with it.... in terms of other stuff...see above my interests

In matters of principle, stand like a rock

In moments of conflict, the best is to do the right thing, then something else, and the worst is to do nothing

Honesty is the most important thing

Live and let live

"Be the change you want to see" (Gandhi)

The simple desire to share something meant that we could enter the world of language without words, where everything is always clear, and there is no danger of being misinterpreted. P. Coelho.

In the space, no one can hear you shout. Alien

The heart has its reasons which reason knows nothing of. Blaise Pascal

I have made this letter longer because I have not had the time to make it shorter. Blaise Pascal

Feeling of happiness- as if you´d suddenly swallowed a bright piece of that late afternoon sun. Katherine Mansfield

Yo soy yo y mi circunstancia y si no la salvo a ella no me salvo yo. J.Ortega y Gasset

The only way is to forgive what you ´ll never forget - ´Inventing the Abbots´

Y de tanto que sentia no senti que te perdia - ´mecano´

If you think it´s too good to be true, probably it is too good to be true - ´don´t remember where from´

When a door closes, a window gets opened - No hay mal q por bien no venga.

If you don´t like your life, change it ..and if you don´t like it..change it..and if you don´t like it change it...

Y tambien un trayecto para distanciarse..porque la muerte acecha con mayor eficacia que el amor....aunque el amor haga creer en la inmortalidad, en una forma de inmortalidad, la que consiste en ser recordado y permanecer dentro del corazon de alguien, exaltado y embellecido mientras ese corazon lata. - ´Antonio Gala´

Every book has a soul, the soul of the person who wrote it and of those who read it and dream about it.- Carlos Ruiz Zafon, The Angel´s game

Live passionately, with all the injuries that can happen as a result: it is worth it (P. Coelho)

Some people you love no matter what, some people you love if the situation is right, to me the best kind of love is the no matter what kind - ´Inventing the Abbots´
