About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to learn and explore

ABOUT ME

I love to have fun, I enjoy laughing, learning and being social - going to parties, galleries, concerts, museums and talks. In general I am an easy going person. I also sometimes enjoy being quiet. I love nature, dramatic landscapes, sunsets, sunrises, walking and swimming.

I love to have new experiences - variety is the spice of life! New people, ideas, skills - I love to learn... traveling is the most amazing things anyone can do. I am a believer in the try everything once theory - although I do have some limits on that!

Recently I have also come to enjoy the simple life, and been doing a lot of meditation and yoga. I am starting to realise the reality of the modern worlds influence on our energy beings. I am really enjoying eating lots of fruit... ;)

PHILOSOPHY

I live my life to learn...... and everybody in life has something to teach you - hopefully positive! Also give what you want to receive, and always smile! (its good for you you know....)

:)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I swam with giant turtles and stingrays in the carribean. Awe inspiring!

Teach, Learn, Share

I also took forging, welding, glass blowing and ceramics for a few years in college - I am by no means an expert and would LOVE the chance to have a play with some equipment - it would be a great bonus to learn some new tricks aswell!

I can do poi, and am able to teach a little - currently I am trying to learn juggling!

I would like to learn photography and am always up for learning new things about cooking, music, philosophy and politics.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I know how to cook quite well.... my best cooked dishes are: pizza, lasagne, risotto or squash and red pepper curry! I also know how to make bread, how to germinate and ferment things and have experimented a lot with raw food. I love to cook and share with people.

I am well practiced with photoshop and premier, and also know some indesign, illustrator, dreamweaver... flash and soundbooth I have played with but am not an expert!

I can speak conversational Spanish, and have also been interested in Permaculture for several years and know a fair bit about bioconstruction...

pretty varied interests! ...
