CURRENT MISSION

To reach enlightment....

ABOUT ME

Easy going, very smiley, love being up (or under) mountains. LOVE to travel....Very aware and spiriutually focused, but chilled. Honest to a fault, fairly rational. Adventurous and want to suck the marrow out of this lovely short life. Good at early mornings and late nights, but very light sleeper. (I don't class my self as an insomniac; just a natural women trying to live in this 'modern' world! Ha..) Am a prolific 'plate spinner', which some would translate as head sometimes all over the place...VERY giving, but dislike takers and dishonesty...Face often like sunshine; eye's sometimes like thunder...

PHILOSOPHY

O.K Personal favourite quotes..'Eat, drink and be merry, for tomorrow you die' - 'Death twitches my ear. "Live!" He says, "I am coming!" - 'Houses are tombs built by the dead for the living!' - 'The Lust for comfort MURDERS the passion of the soul, and walk's grinning at the funeral' - 'I am' (no this or that attached) - 'Give us a smile ya miserable bugger!' (I made that one up..)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Still a fledgling testing out my wings...Coffee, chat, couch, bed, hammock, field...hmmm! Usually have house-sitters, Hare Krisna's, Tibetan Buddhist's, 'Artists' and various other waifs and strays living in my lovely house, while I'm off sleeping in a mud hut somewhere pungent, but exciting...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Was CS virgin... now CS in Santiago Chile and loved every minute if it! Found my Chilean Soul Sister....

Music...anything involving Black Peruvian box beaters, Ella Fitzgerald, Cuban anything, Pink. Books...particularly things that discuss what reality actually is, rather than what we think it is...I'll leave that one with you...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Bought and travelled by horse in Chile!

Teach, Learn, Share

Always up for any kind of spiritual expansion, both yours and mine... Good at growing plants and weeds equally. Proficient at kayaking upside down (read that as, bad!)Will head up to, and stay in the mountains for the rest of my life living with 'god' if your up for it....HAAAAAAAA
Will canyon, raft, abseil, run a marathon, learn Swahili and have a go at anything that's 'mostly' legal...Also, capable of teaching the rare 'Art of Being Chipper (Happy)' even when wracked with a hangover....
