My name is Christie.

I enjoy challenging myself, body, mind and spirit. I'm wild in my own way - skinning dipping, climbing, making an adventure of life. I'm in the habit of being open and upfront. I gave up the parties and booze in favour of meditation and solitude. I enjoy peace.

Openminded, operate on: 'live and let live'.

My main pursuits are developing self-knowledge, creating poetry, articles, and stories. I spend my time learning, sharing and exploring the world.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to learn, share and if there's anything I have to offer in terms of teaching, that'd be delightful.
