About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Watching my friends fix up my garden, read a good book, write my grandfather a postcard, try to become a muse.

ABOUT ME

I like watching leaves fall, I like seeing them dance on the wind. I like the raindrops in the ponds I (always) accidentally step in - they have traveled the world further & longer than any of us ever will - I would love to hear them speak. I like the old women leaning against their windows in Alfama, Lisbon. There is a significant tree in the Queen Vic gardens in Melbourne, sometimes, when I can't find a nice place to sit, I miss it's comortable branches badly.

PHILOSOPHY

Be honest, follow my feelings, be impulsive, care...why do I live my life? because it can be so beautiful I guess.

Interests

Travelling, writing, reading, music, meeting people (old & new), Snowboarding, Hiking, Rock climbing, Chess, just trying to get the best out of whatever comes my way.
