CURRENT MISSION

To live in Tao...find a way to practically learn and experience a myriad things without going mental

ABOUT ME

I spend a lot of time asking myself open ended questions about the meaning and nature of things without much progress in answering them. I love the idea of exploration of the self, sub-conscious and dream time. I really love singing and dancing, photography, sewing, doing anything creative with colour. I love sharing these things with others and children. I like people who do things for nothing, tho it would be good to earn a living some day. My favourite places are usually mountainous and by rushing water or large bodies of water.hiking and yoga keeps me sane, I love plants and animals and talk to them regularly.

PHILOSOPHY

I would like to think more like Khyyam... don't dwell on the future or the past, they of are of little significance. Instead take the hand of the Beloved and run your fingers through her hair.

....Even the cockroaches are amicable when you bother to introduce yourself.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My experiences through cs and the people I've met with this site have been some of the most profound in my life.in this crazy brutal world, that such a utopian place (IN CYBER SPACE) exists fills me with hope and love. if you hosted me in the last 3 years, trust me i will never forget you!
CS is changing the world for the better learning how we can trust each other, no matter what country we're from, and if we understand each other better, we can't be persuaded to fight each other for the interests of greedy multinational companies...bring on the "universal love"

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Travelling to an alternate dimension with help from Amy and Salvia divinorum.

Teach, Learn, Share

So I can teach basic sewing, I can teach English (I'm actually qualified tho it's my least favourite) I can teach about permaculture, yoga and probably other things I can't think of right now. Increasingly more Yoga I can teach. I'm ready for any purpose. I'm not really sure what I can offer, but I can cook and sing you a song and help children with their English homework. I can edit any documents, (students... happy to help)
