About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Clean my house!!

ABOUT ME

I am a 26 year old Mother of a 5 and a half year old little girl who asks questions all day, questions such as "do sperm have souls?"
I have a bit of a sarcastic streak, but like to think i am funny about it!
I have an irritating phobia of vegetables. I want to like them, but i just don't. It might be a texture thing.

I have just returned home from the adventure of my life, a 3 and a half month trip around Europe. It was seriously indescribable. The people I met, the places I saw, the food i ate, the booze i drank...i could go on and on.
It's a mindf#ck to be back, trying to get back into the swing of having responsibilities again.
It was a wonderful thing to experience couchsurfing first hand, and I cant wait till i can host my very own surfer.

PHILOSOPHY

Live NOW!!! Tomorrow is a long time away
Be good to others
Enjoy putting a smile on someones face, because smiles are infectious. So is laughter.
Try not to feel defeated even when everything seems utterly f#cked. Something good will come again soon
I live my life for my child. I want her to grow up and know that anything is achievable, but no one is going to do it for you. I want her to see if there is a wall there is always a way over, under around or through it.
There is no reason to conform. Unless it makes you happy.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Delivered newborn babes. So beautiful.
Watched a sunset from a hot tub on the balcony of a bure in Fiji, while drinking Baileys on Ice.
Stood on the slopes of Mt Remarkable In New Zealand. I have never been so high in my life!
Drank water from a glacier
Ridden a horse for 3 days through mountains
White water rafting in the Swiss Alps, I was the only one who fell in. Rafting was followed by jumping into a blue lake with a temperature of about 4 degrees celsius

Teach, Learn, Share

Being able to forgive and be forgiven is a virtue that not everyone is blessed with.

Without hope there is no joy

If your dreams have been shattered make new ones

Do not depend on anyone else to make you happy

Gotye! This is the best music in the world and i encourage you to look for it and listen.

I would really love to learn how to cook, If anyone feels like giving me a cooking lesson!

Someone please teach me the secret to patience!

Some things are worth waiting for.
