About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Mi couch-a es su couch-a! My goal is to meet as many people as I can and leans about as many cultures as I can. Oh yes, and I want to be a princess when I grow up.

ABOUT ME

I'm a marvellously simple and frighteningly complex person, as we all are. Why don't you ask me about it?
But to give you a taste:
I'm 6 feet tall, deal with it.
I'm returned earlier this year from teaching English in Seoul, South Korea.
I love to converse (though I admit a weakness of chattering on if the other person isn't talkative)
My favourite topics of conversation are the most taboo: human sexuality and religion, but I will happily talk about anything!
I've been described as a "old soul"
I leave a piece of my heart in each place I've travelled, but the biggest and most painful chunk currently resides in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland.

PHILOSOPHY

I guess if you HAD to label me, you could say I'm Buddhist with a Pagan twist.
But if you boil it down, I believe in mankind.

Interests

Costuming, geneaology, archaeology (pre-historic, Iron age, biblical), Latin, history, movies, fairy tales, Gaelic, theatre, classic literature, mythology (biblical, Classical, Celtic), religion, sexuality.
