About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To feel and share positive vibes

ABOUT ME

I'm really enjoying this life so far. There are so many things to do, and to ponder about. I like learning, especially about how other folk approach living in the world, and their views on life.

PHILOSOPHY

You do not have to be good.
You do not have to walk on your knees
for a hundred miles through the desert repenting.
You only have to let the soft animal of your body
love what it loves.

Mary Oliver

Out beyond ideas of right doing and wrong doing.
There is a field.
I'll meet you there

Rumi

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have stayed with many good people when I was hitch-hiking my way through Europe, also volunteering on organic farms during the summer.
When I stayed in Edinburgh, I loved returning the favour to fellow travelers. it was great to show people all the beautiful parts of my town and my country.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm glad I have the opportunity to share my couch with others. I've had a few couchsurfing experiences and really benefited from them, and I want to return the favour.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love learning.
I love exchanges.
We could slack-line together? Play jeu de tarot? Throw a tennis ball about the place, dance to some crazy ska beats, or sit comfortably over a cup of tea talking about our different experiences growing up and growing old.
