I live for the sunrise and die for the sunset; burning skies and pink shimmering waters. My spirit is at peace by the crashing waves or calm azure waters, surrounded by forests and birdsong, mountain springs, or wonderful panoramas, under starry night skies, rolling clouds, thundering rain, or blazing sunshine. Picking wild edible and medicinal plants. Reading Homeric epics or philosophical texts, non-fiction that's weirder than fiction, or dystopian novels. Life begins outside the comfort zone. If you can teach me something new I'll be forever grateful to you - I'm curious about how people live and do certain things differently in different countries/cultures. I'm especially interested in learning new recipes and ways of eating, but mostly healthy food, not the addiction to deep fried, white flour/rice empty foods most people nowadays have, but millets, whole grains, curious vegetables and fruits which I'd never seen before in Europe, etc, and how to use herbs and spices in food or for healing. I'm now travelling in Asia, so I can't host you, but I'd love to meet you somewhere on the way! ========= Journeys and Places visited ===== 2012-13 🧑‍🎓🇮🇪Galway, Ireland.
