I'm Shelbi! 22 year old Australian citizen originally from San Diego. Kinda weird and goofy haha , super open minded, kind, and considerate. I love to make people feel understood and appreciated. I like to connect with others, and share pleasant experiences.

I am a seamstress by trade, specialising in recycled materials and vintage fabrics. I love to create wonderfully unique clothing while not using any new materials, supporting handmade and sustainable practices.

I love drawing, skateboarding, meeting new people, talking about human relationships, dreams, perceptions of reality, astrology, karma, religions, social/economics, all of the juicy subjects of life. I am keen on continuing on my growth and understanding of the world we share, my perspective seems to grow and change constantly. I am eager to engage with open minded experienced folks, learning from them their different tastes, ideas and ideals, pattern and process of thought..

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

the fact that I'm alive today to experience life with a willingness to expand my awareness and nurture my spirit..

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: compassion, patience, and child-like perspectives learn: consciousness, utilise my intuition more, and other perspectives share: love, understanding, the present

What I Can Share with Hosts

Positive, bright, unique interactions & conversations, an extra hand with chores, cooking, cleaning, work on projects, gardening etc!
