Resumen
Sobre mí
CURRENT MISSION
Being fulltime Mama to my three kids
ABOUT ME
Very friendly, open, talkative, spontaneous 'people person', into family and community, a political 'leftie' who loves to stimulate my brain and soul with films, reading and good discussion about most things from major global issues, other cultures, religion or psychology to what people are wearing at the Oscars ;). I love travel, new ideas, meeting new people and swapping stories. Above all right now though I'm in my fifth year of being a fulltime Mama to three little monkeys ;)
PHILOSOPHY
'A revolution without dancing is not a revolution worth having'...
Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I've always shared my couch with whoever needed it long before couch surfing began, and have been a surfer, but I'm excited to finally able to host in my own home for real!
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Excellent experience couchsurfing with the famous film duo Richard and Hamish in London, and in the UK and Spain, and spent years staying on people's couches in the days before CS was born.
Intereses
My kids! ... and...I'm passionate about all things cultural and political. Love film, photography, a good party, to dance/sing, reading, travelling - planning and dreaming about it, meeting new people, trying new languages, debating ideas and perspectives, campaigning on human, animal and planet issues and healthy living. Love nature, big vistas and big skys, love walking/cycling for hours with nowhere in particular to go...love living in community with all its diversity.

Algo increíble que he hecho
Being a mother - three times over! Seeing two enormous 'stealth' stingray while scuba diving in South Africa. Holding a tiny baby in an Indian orphanage wishing I could give her a new life. Walking through the 'gateway to the Sahara' in 50 degrees heat with sand streching to infinity in front of me.
