ABOUT ME

Most recently lived Bhutan and have now jumped the puddle from Australia and living in the mountains of New Zealand. I like the NICE people! The kind of person that knows how to engage you in conversation and listen to what you have to say. The style of person that is open and receptive to new ideas about the world and doesn't buy into "stuff". In essence, I like the real of the world, the ones with storied and lines on their faces. The ones who can cry and show their pain like battle stripes and then move on and fill the room with laughter. I like the poets of the world who can sit in the stillness and feel how their emotions are informing their world.
