I live in Northern NSW Australia near Lismore. I live on a community surrounded by nature, including a great waterhole. We are looking for people to help with weeding and other jobs in exchange for accommodation.

I am very interested in Science and Philosophy, particularly neuroscience, psychology and the study of consciousness. I try to meditate daily and keep fit and healthy. I also love history and social science. One of my current projects is to have conversations across ideological boundaries.

I love travel and languages and have learned a bit of many languages incuding Pitjatjantjara which is an Indigenous Australian Language. When I travel I prefer to visit and stay with local people and get to know the culture. I prefer to spend a longer time in a few places rather than trying to visit every tourist attraction.

I also love nature. I grew up with a zoologist father who taught me so much wandering through the bush together. I have worked as a technician for flora and fauna research projects.
