CURRENT MISSION

live, laugh, love--Edinburgh

PHILOSOPHY

I once read Deleuze and I have lost sight of it since.

But in general, be that self which one truly is.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am out and about right now, in between places although generally living in Edinburgh. If I am around, I would love to meet for a drink or chat, and if I am somewhere with an extra couch, I would be happy to share.

I live for meaningful encounters with strangers.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I was once almost arrested on a bus in Brasov- a lovely German speaking Mexican somehow got me out of it. He told me about it.
and now...

Take me on a trip upon your magic swirlin’ ship
My senses have been stripped, my hands can’t feel to grip
My toes too numb to step
Wait only for my boot heels to be wanderin’
I’m ready to go anywhere, I’m ready for to fade
Into my own parade, cast your dancing spell my way
I promise to go under it

Interests

listening, writing, learning, reading, talking, wandering aimlessly,working with animals, saving animals, knowing souls and dancing. rain that falls, and rivers that bend, and eyes that laugh, words that rhyme with meaning.

understanding the underbellies that breathe the life into our cities, and the trees and rock and earth and mud that mould and make our forests, the dust and damp that become our alleyways--the spirit that can become us all.
Looking---
and being there, myself as I am, when I arrive at what it is that I am looking for.
Rediscovering-- myself, this place, the ones I love.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have always met amazing people wherever I have traveled.

Teach, Learn, Share

Anxiety is the dizziness of freedom.
