About Me

CURRENT MISSION

One step at a time, one leap, one bound.

ABOUT ME

Traveling is so important for the mind, body & the soul. So I saved my pennies & hopped onto the next plane out of Australia. Who knows where I will end up in Canada, but I have all the time in the world to find out. LIBERTY!
I enjoy the company of others, to hear their story, to take with me their advice & knowledge.
I believe we should be walking very softly on Mother Earth, for she is fragile & incredibly beautiful - thank her!
I enjoy listening, watching & creating music. I have a really hard time answering the question "So what is your favourite band?".
Give me a paintbrush & a blank canvas anyday & ill be like putty in your hands.
I do not have a pet Kangaroo, a bigger knife than yours & neither did a Dingo steal my baby.
I AM SO GRATEFUL FOR MY LIFE & THE EXPERIENCES I HAVE HAD. Everything is a lesson & everyday you will learn. Never stop learning. Never stop loving.
Cant wait to meet you!

PHILOSOPHY

I dont quite yet know who I am or what I would like to do for the rest of my life, but all I know is that it is damn fun finding out. I live my life to be happy, right NOW.

Music, Movies, and Books

THE SECRET

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hitlers Eagles Nest, Germany - words cannot describe, but what made this experience even more strange was when a dozen young German military troops decided to take their tour at the same time we did.

Constructing a native North American sweat-lodge out of maple trees; watching a storm rapidly rush over to bless the site & crack lightening in & around the area; being part of two 'sweats' & to be given my spirit name.

Life amazes me everyday.

Teach, Learn, Share

Right now I am part of the WWOOF organisation. For those of you who have not heard of this & I reccommend you find out. WWOOF is World Wide Organisations on Organic Farms (www.wwoof.ca). A voluntary 4-6 hrs a day, 5 days a week gives you a free place to stay & an endless amount of food. In the initial 5 months of my Canadian adventure, I WWOOFed my way from Ontario to Quebec. Not only is it a cheaper way to travel, but it is an experience in itself. It allows you to meet this whole new world on a more personal level. You create relationships that are extremely beneficial to your travels & will last a lifetime. It is not only in Canada, you can WWOOF ALL OVER THE WORLD!! Check it folks & get WWOOFing!
