CURRENT MISSION This year is going to be the best one so far! ABOUT ME Into Dancing, Yoga, holistic and natural living, creative movement and good conversation and connections! I thrive in company, and love meeting people from all cultural backgrounds. I go to lots of meet ups, from pubs and clubs to yoga and dance. I used to organise my own weekly epic CS yoga + social event in London and Lisbon.

I'm an Acupuncturist, Yoga teacher and author (written on a book on the body-mind connection and various other aspects of the human experience! Called ‘Understanding Human Nature!) running my own yoga / wellbeing business (check out www.creativewellness.co.uk) and helping to facilitate juice detox retreats, so I like all things body-mind related, also been a manager in an organic food supermarket. I work doing what I love very fortunate.

I have an healthy interest in both things of a current / modern nature (I love going out and dancing in clubs to alternative music and meeting CSers!) but also into the deeper more spiritual aspects of life also. Good to talk to, good sense of humour! I think it probably sums me up that I've sometimes taught a yoga class then gone straight out on a pub crawl! :-)

PHILOSOPHY To try to do things which i find fulfilling and inspirational as much as i can while on planet Earth within getting too stressed out on the way. Also it's all about what you feel passionate about, what you feel in your Heart and makes you feel alive and present...

Something i wrote once....

The connection with our Heart is our connection with Spirit, it's home, our home, look into the eyes of another and all shall truly be revealed, the lights shall come on and the spirit shall occupy ones body, the truth will be seen and magic will be the norm, faith will become reality and the crash and burn of life and Love will sparkle an effervescent glory unto the Heart and Soul of the dance of existence itself. I am alive, I shall not be denied!...

And that the wise way is often the middle way - so to maximise my own internal experience of life by looking after myself and my wellbeing, and also by making sure the things external to me in my life that i choose to engage with are also nourishing and engaging.

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

For over 4yrs whilst living in London I ran a super popular yoga and meditation class (followed by the pub) every Tuesday for CS'ers, taught literally hundreds over the years, made so many friends, happy days! Now doing the same in Lisbon!

Also generally very active on the groups, often meet others to hang out with or go dancing, I love the 'in the moment' nature of meeting people who are travelling - it stops you from getting stuck in a routine and wakes you up again and lets you see things with fresh eyes.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Lots, particularly when travelling the U.S and Canada, before this website was prominent would often just meet people who would offer me a place to stay. Always grateful of that. I've always been open in the past when possible and on my travels to trying to help a fellow traveller out, and appreciate i've been helped out loads in the past myself.

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

Danced in 9 Native American style Sun and Moon dances where you dry fast (no food or water) for 3 days while dancing from Sunrise to Sunset. Also lots travelling around U.S and Canada, from working on top of a ski hill in Whistler Canada, to seeing some very unusual (!) behaviour at Burning Man Festival in Black Rock desert. First year worked as an acupuncturist at Buddhafield festival amazing to me - doing the thing i'm passionate about in a really high vibration natural setting, beautiful friend connections at the time too was a great few days!
