Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Currently looking to relocate to Victoria from my home in the Kootenays. Looking for a larger centre with more music, culture and specifically Argentine Tango.
Have travelled several times to Mexico for rest and relaxation and social stimulation. Love the people, the culture and beaches of Mexico.
ABOUT ME
Strangers are simply friends whose names I don't know yet. I like to meet people from other cultures to broaden my perspective on life. I have a easy sense of humour, light-heart, tidy, active and healthy.
Would like to learn Spanish.
PHILOSOPHY
Be part of the solution, not part of the problem. Spread the love. To know the feelings of the heart and soul. My spiritual path: Loving Kindness

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Huge redwood trees in Southern California.. and a Rembrandt painting in the Legion of Honour (art gallery) in San Francisco... both gave me a full body rush and took my breath away.. I was in the presence of divine light.
I had a home birth in a tiny long cabin, without running water, by choice. Incredible life changing experience.
Danced tango in the salons of Buenos Aires.
Teach, Learn, Share
I've lived for 30 years in a rural area and earned all my pioneer points, chopping wood and carrying water. I still chop wood. I have a lot of knowledge to share about the human condition and about living lightly on the land. I also teach social dance and could share swing steps?.. I also write for magazines and could coach about that field. Also I am successful event co-ordinator. I host weeken workshops in Argentine TAngo twice a year and co-host a weekly Practica in my nearby city.
What I Can Share with Hosts
Share travel/life stories plus a few dance moves!
