I like to swim, play, talk, walk, think, feel, be, see, touch, trust, dream, work, practise, fall and get back up again. I'm laid back, open minded, supportive and helpful.

Music, Movies, and Books

My favourite author ever is John Steinbeck. I still haven't read all his books because I'm trying to go through them slowly so as to be able to savour them as long as possible. Otherwise, some others are To Kill a Mockingbird, Flannery O'Connor, Middlesex, Little Bee and a lot of David Sedaris are my other favourites.

Music wise, I generally like acoustic-mellow-stuff, reggae, bluegrass, folk and electronic (I'm especially partial to psytrance, especially when it comes in festival form). My favourite is any music that makes me want to dance. Totally open to whatever you've got to share though and am definitely down for some music swaps!
