About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To combine peace, adventure and love.

ABOUT ME

I have been involved in meditation for 15 years, and try my best to live a peaceful, natural existence. I don't like wasteful living - and I don't like cars! Or the oil industry. In my opinion, the greatest invention ever was that of the beautiful bicycle...
I love the outdoors and fresh air... hiking, swimming and cycling are my good friends! I am a keen runner too, and run regular marathons (and the occasional ultra).

PHILOSOPHY

To keep reminding myself that we're all part of one big, beautiful family...
