Description
I have been travelling for many years and I love to wake up everyday with the prospect of who I will meet and the adventures that unfold. Living in the moment and going with the flow allows me to accept the journey and enjoy life. Laughter and good conversation along with a strong love of nature and other cultures really motivates me. You could say I'm a free spirit. Have worked in many fields over the years, but my passion lies in Community Services and helping others. I have designed and created many gardens and completed my Permaculture Certificate. Personal growth, meditation and self awareness is a daily practice. Music,dance and good vegetarian food brings me great joy.
