About Me

ABOUT ME

I am currently on an expedition to travel as much as I can. I have an innate desire to see the world and want to allow myself every opportunity possible to be wherever I can be. I am planning to be in Japan soon therefore sending all my good energy into that (: I am wise and unwise at times. I am always kind, always loyal. I move worlds for people I care about, as far as I can. Drawing is a favourite past-time. I could draw for days at a time with nothing and no-one around.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm not too certain about "life motto's" but I do believe in kindness under any circumstance. I believe a great deal in Karma and I hope what I send out comes back to me; hopefully it is always good. If not, I hope to learn from that.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've seen people around me revel in the simplest pleasures; of each other's company, live music or good food in less than pristine restaurants in beautiful locations. This is, always, an amazing thing to experience and be a part of.

On my 10th birthday I woke up as my parents were crossing the border from Zimbabwe into Zambia. I awoke as we stopped by one of the seven wonders of the world- Victoria Falls. I got out of the car and was drenched within 10 minutes from the moisture in the air. It is still a clear memory that moves me beyond words I can write here.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am an avid believer in Education. I love to teach. But mostly listen and learn. I have been teaching Art practical, Art History and Design Prac and History for about 2 years now. I know how to bake a bread in the ground, and how to make the bowl that you bake it in (with the right tools of course) (: I hope to always, always learn something.
