ABOUT ME

In a previous life, I was a contemporary dancer and choreographer, theatre technician, documentary photographer and all round curious soul and nomadic traveler of the world. For the last 4 years I have been raising my beautiful daughter Inca in Perth, Western Australia and growing into my role as a sole (soul) mama and conscious human.

These days, I appreciate simplicity. I meditate often and like to potter in my garden. I dance passionately, breathe deeply and sing with my heart.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Shared journeys are rich and part of the tapestry of life. I look forward to connecting.

Interests

I practice Kundalini Yoga on a daily basis and deeply connect with all forms of dance and conscious movement modalities, especially Ecstatic Dance. I love my garden, being in nature, intimate moments of daily life, having gratitude, my friends, community and my daughter, who is a fearless, loving little Buddha.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A ten day trip from Broome to Darwin sleeping in a swag under the stars, cooking by campfire and washing in waterfalls.

It also has to be said, having my daughter and the journey that is.
