CURRENT MISSION

I am on an evolutionary path... My journey is primarily focussed on the spiritual aspects of life (finding answers to questions like "Why am I here on this planet?) and building good relationships.

ABOUT ME

I am very interested in life and my life path is my personal evolution and helping in the evolution of humanity. That means I am always building on what I have achieved in the past. I have a sense of humor. I like to enjoy life and I currently spend much of my life traveling and experiencing other cultures and living in communities and environments where I can achieve personal growth. To produce an income I run a small business via the internet. My business involves providing homes for lower income people in Australia at an affordable price. I am healthy, eat well, was a vegetarian for decades and have now adopted a Bulletproof diet for two years, like to meditate for an hour daily and to run 5 ks each day. I like walking to explore . Enjoy yoga...not into competitive sports like football. I don't drink or smoke.

During 2008 and 2009 I was my daughter's manager as she modeled in various countries in Asia. Prior to that I was a single parent for 4 years. She then went to university and is now an Environmental Lawyer in Australia

I believe that, by being the best person I can be, that makes the world a better place for all. Imagine if we were all at the peak of our perfection as humans; wouldn't life be the best? As it is we are all doing our best but some of us are more focused on issues that raise the consciousness of humanity. I just like to focus on raising my consciousness at a rate that I enjoy; and ideally in a way that helps others. I'm constantly working on myself to be a better person and to make a better world for everyone.

PHILOSOPHY

That we are on earth for a purpose. That purpose is our personal evolution. I have summed up my philosophy in the following statement:

"To evolve; recognize the attributes of God within you and express them in your daily life."

Essentially this means; be creative, loving, care for your body, care for the environment, forgive and accept, have integrity, and enjoy life. You probably have some other ideas you can add to these.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have not yet hosted anyone through CouchSurfing as I am busy travelling.... In the past I have hosted other people whom I have met during my travels before I joined CouchSurfing.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have often had travellers stay at my home at South Golden Beach, near Byron Bay, in Australia. But I only joined CouchSurfing in April, 2010, and i am currently travelling. When I have a couch to offer, I will offer it. I have stayed with two people via CouchSurfing.

Interests

Cultures in all their forms such as music, dance and food: I like to participate rather than just watch. Yoga, meditation and spiritual studies and practices, healthy food and living, economics and business, human evolution, the natural environment, reading and studying, walking especially in beautiful places, the built environment and how it is made to improve peoples lives, and more.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: Gandhi and Phantom of the Opera. Mostly like musicals, romantic comedies, and true socially important stories like Selma, ARGO and Reds.

Music: Much......Ballroom and Latin dance music. Some classical: Pachelbel's Canon for example. I like to sing spiritual music from around the world that has positive lyrics. I like to dance...freeform and some Latin and ballroom.

Books: Alan Kardecs books on Spiritism, "The Chemistry of Connection". I liked; "Attraction is not a Choice" and Herman Hesse's "Siddhartha". I read a lot of articles about relationships and economics; these are two significant interests/joys.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbed the volcano on Grande Comore Island and watched the melting lava. Sailed the Indian Ocean islands for 12 months and surfed on isolated waves. Spent 9 months living at the Casa Dom Inacio healing center in Brasil as a volunteer. Helped street children in Manila and helped set up a school system for them. Lived on yoga ashrams in Australia, India and Thailand. Stayed at a Zen Buddhist Temple in Korea. Modeled in Singapore (that's my site photo). Sailed a yacht around Indian Ocean Islands for about 12 months and surfed where no one else has. Rode on the backs of giant tortoises.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have worked with brain injured children. I home schooled my daughter for 8 years. Have produced a children's TV show in Australia. Taught communications in university. Published a local newspaper. Built and renovated houses doing all trades myself. Have a knowledge of spiritual subjects and practices. Delighted to share my knowledge with you. Budget traveled extensively and glad to share the skills and knowledge gained.
