CURRENT MISSION

Explore , Observe and Laugh

ABOUT ME:

Well, I smile a lot. I love traveling and feeling foreign and aloof in a different country. I enjoy learning different perspectives and ways of living. I'm always up for random knowledge, although I may not remember it all. Laughter is food for the soul. I always try to leave an impression wherever I go and I love connecting with other souls.
I've got a wicked sense of humour, and once I break out of my shyness I'm a goofball. I can also be a bit mischievous...

PHILOSOPHY

I'm into that 'universal' spirituality kind of jazz, but in a quiet sense. I've been told I'm an 'old soul'.

-be entertained by small things
-laugh at yourself, and by yourself
-love unconditionally
-listen to your intuition
-your greatest gift to give is your happiness (ie take care of yourself)
-go with the flow (plan minimally)
-show gratitude
-congratulate yourself
-be aware

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I quit living a 'normal' life. I stepped off the beaten path to forge my own way, and I've never looked back.

Life is great.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love storytellers. I will sit and listen for ages and ages. I love people with a lot of wisdom and awareness of the world around them and awareness of themselves.

What I Can Share with Hosts

You know the one thing I tend to use the most when I'm with a host is my listening skills. I'm here with an open mind and free of judgement. I love to hear what people have to say, and sometimes I show up just when they needed support or someone to hear them out.

Otherwise,
I cook, play guitar and sing and I have some very interesting funny stories to share when I've consumed enough wine.
