ABOUT ME

I have an inkling that there's more to life than sitting behind a desk, looking forward to 2 week holidays on the Spanish coast...I have an urge to be creative, with my words, my attitudes, my skills and my friendships.....I've learnt more about myself in the last 7 years than in the previous 26....I am on the right path and it feels fantastic....I am petite and human and I have love and it is life :)

PHILOSOPHY

I live to learn, love, create, share, help others and appreciate the beauty of all things. Equality, empathy and kindness are high on my list, along with happiness, joy and peace.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have surfed, I have swum and now I shall be the ship :) My couch is your couch.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Spent 4 months in Sadhana Forest, India, being part of an AMAZING couch-surfing international eco-community. It changed my entire life. From there to Brighton and the spare soft-spots of many a beautiful host, I will always be indebted to them for their sanctuaries. And will always try to provide space to anyone needing it, as a result.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Walking through Rome to the Vatican City at 6am - not a soul to be seen, utter peace and quiet - seeing the sun rise on St Peters Cathedral. Walking through later that day and being brought to tears by the immensity of the interior.

Riding 400km in 5 days on a bike through India with 40 other people.

Underworld playing Born Slippy outdoors in summer '03 - light rain overhead keeping us cool, a dazzling sunset to our left and the most stunning rainbow of all time to our right...

Teach, Learn, Share

English, painting, splashing colour about - teaching
Guitar, jembe, singing - learning
Philosophy, meditation, dancing around the flat - sharing

Anyone who can teach me to moss graffiti will earn a permanent place of honour on my couch. And, perhaps, a plaque.
