CURRENT MISSION Surfing for summer ABOUT ME I am a musician, teacher and learner with a taste for adventure and keen to learn many new skills. Currently I am working as a music teacher in Australia and in my spare time I am skate boarding or creating my own acoustic and electronic music. I have a passion for sustainability and I have a "do it yourself" attitude toward most things in life. I like to make things from scratch including beer, yogurt, slow food, growing herbs and vegetables and hopefully one day cheese and wine! I am very confident in cookery and I have worked in a commercial kitchen in the past. I have a vegetarian diet and I am keen to learn about traditional methods of food preservation and veganism. I grew up close to the sea in tropical north Australia and I absolutely love the outdoors, being away from polluted city areas and experiencing big skies and clear bright stars. I speak English fluently and I want to learn more languages! PHILOSOPHY Slowly, slowy, same, same, but different - peace.
