CURRENT MISSION

..living the moment as best as we can...

ABOUT ME

I can't get used to the idea of settling down, like buying a house and living in one place for EVER. I love to make plans and be on the move. But when I'm forced to leave a place I am attached to I get disconcerted and melancholic. I'm independent but gather all this crap that ties me down. I'm very social but again need a lot of time to myself. I would love to change the world for the better but often too lethargic to change my own life. I have a good sense of humor, occasionally I can be a bit naive. I genuinely enjoy behaving childishly at times but then again take myself and life too seriously.

PHILOSOPHY

expect the unexpected.

兴趣

What the world has to offer...cultures and languages, good food, a warm shower, silent meditation, yoga, a swim in a cool pool or lake, stunning views from a mountaintop, the ocean, birds that make odd noises, chocolate, chilli, making plans and realising them, falling in love, getting to know new people and keeping in touch with old friends.

音乐、电影和书籍

I absolutely adore cinema - it opens up your mind to a whole new world of ideas, places and emotions. Some of my favorite movies include Night on Earth (most Jim Jarmusch films), Gadjo Dilo is a superbe movie probably hardly anyone knows. I cried watching Francoise Ozons 5X2, Fellinis Amarcord, Trois Couleurs by Kieslowski, the Lives of Others and a couple more. I can truly recommend Waltz with Bashir.

Music is important but could be even more important.. I stopped playing the piano but would love to play an instrument at some point in my life. Lately I have been listening to Sigur Ros. In Sydney I discovered Mum, also an Icelandic band; I love the Kings of Convenience, Kings of Leon, the Cinematic Orchestra, the American Analog Set are fabulous; I like Lhasa de Sela, Laura Veirs, Feist, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Björk, Le Tigre, Arcade Fire, Interpol, and Indie Rock...and many more.

I love being inspired and challenged by arts, performance, theater and contemporary dance - the crazier and more abstract the better. If you ever get a chance to see a dance performance by Wim Vandekeybus and Ultima Vez you'll be thrilled!!

Yes, I also read. However not as much as I'd like to. Latest books include some classics Virgina Woolf's Orlando, Hamlet by John Marsden, Gabriel Garcia Marquez News of a Kidnapping. Most books by Lily Brett.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I have lived in Paris for a couple of months. Found and lost love. Realised a dream. followed my intuition.

教，学，和分享

I'm interested in taking better, more abstract photos...gardening skills...and practicing my Spanish and French....but not both at the same time :) So if you can teach/help out with any of these - you're even more welcome!!
