Interests
Hobbies: I'm not everyone's cup of java. That's pretty much the gist of it. Favorite places to travel to - Where i'd been? Gangtown in Kaiping, China. Going? Ubud, Bali. And probably Padang-Padang Beach (for the amazing surf. Oh yes.
Hot spots: I have a rule - whenever I eat something I'd never eaten before, I make a wish. I'd been blessed to travel a fair amount throughout my life which resulted in exposure to beautiful and humble cultures, so different from my own. But throw me a thick beef fillet on a decent braai with possibly some peppercorns somewhere and I'm home. Fun is relative. It may entail anything from sitting under a tree and taking in a sunrise to traveling to Tokyo. Fun is not classified and nor is 'not fun'. It's probably more a mindset at a specific time. Timing, relating to most things in life, is everything. :)
Sports: Yoga, Weights / Machines, Dancing, Swimming, Martial arts
Favorite things: One of my fervent passions is people who don't exist in boxes. Those who swim upstream and dance to their own music. The ones who break, pick up the pieces they like and put themselves together better than before. The humble and the brilliant. The ones who are not afraid to love nor be loved. The true people of this world. They make my heart turn and my mind hunt. There are so few people on this earth who can truly say they LOVE what they do for a living. I am blessed today to realize again that I am one of them. Creativity, passion, challenge, beautiful people, travelling internationally, exposure to humble and ancient cultures, hospitality and honor, inspired by the hardest working people I know exist.. Happy. At peace. Earning a living. And growing every single day from it. And if I could be anything I wanted to? surfer with a veggie garden, no watch, two dogs and an endless summer.
Last reading: Books: I loved 'The Kite Runner' by Hosseini and 'Like Water for Chocolate' by Esquivel. 'Duma Key' by King and all the Roald Dahl Books - especially 'The BFG'. Movies: Lady in the Water, Labyrinth (a favorite from childhood), La Vie en Rose and Javier Bardem's 'Biutiful'. I do love epic stuff like 300 and Life of Pi, but then 'Lost in Translation' and 'The Big Lebowski' is a favorite too. The list goes on and on.. :)
Common interests: Travelling, Shopping / Antiques, Music and concerts, Museums and art, Gardening / Landscaping, Coffee and conversation, Cooking, Exercising
Descriptive information
Date me: I do believe one can compose dictations here comprising fanfare, folly and all the wondrous rainbow pony stuff we feel we�re good at, good to and good with. Fact remains, we�re all flawed. We all have skeletons and ghosts - some of which we fought with and beat, some still sitting on our shoulder. But, we are all in need (not want, need - yes, there is a distinct difference) to be understood, welcomed, appreciated and yes, loved. However that fits into our way of life, our hearts and our psyche. Love suits everyone differently. Yet I have yet to come across a being it didn�t fit in SOME way. It�s about finding the one that fits YOU. Trust is a part of love. A big one. So is physical attraction. And so is an intellectual connect. With any one of these omitted, the rest cannot compensate in turn. It just won�t. Freedom - so necessary yet so difficult for some to understand. Freedom often conjuncts loneliness. The trick is to find one which doesn�t. Some things are meant to be done together, some things apart. It�s healthy. It�s wonderful. I�m just a girl. I may seem a bit too headstrong or avant garde for your liking, but I am just a girl. I have a strong mind and a soft heart guarded by a fair amount of barb wire. I stand 1.81m tall without shoes. I laugh with my entire being and I love the shelter of strong arms. But I am a free thing. Attempt to cage me in, gentlemen and once I fly I am gone. I am a fashion manager and designer but I am neither flaky nor pretentious. People first. Always. I have resided in 5 star hotels around the world and slept on concrete floors in proper dives under threadbare blankets. I am a creative being and I paint and draw and write and shoot interesting people and places with my faithful Nikon and if I can�t express this I become sad and curl into myself. I love sand between my unpainted toes and salt on my skin over my Givenchy Eau de Moiselle. I enjoy a Johnny on the rocks and a good Montecristo on occasion, but I look after my body and my mind every day. I have body art. Tasteful and with much meaning but sir, if you don�t like ink, please move along, citizen - there is nothing to see here. I listen to anything from Piaff to John Lee Hooker to Manu Chao to The Cure to Jethro Tull to Vance Joy to Jose Gonzalez to New Order to Kate Bush to Massive Attack. I could write essays about this but I shan�t. I sleep with one leg pulled up like a flamingo and probably cook better than yo� mama. But I�m just a girl. :)
What I want: �And who are you? We all have a �type�. Yet, I have discovered throughout my walk in life that it is not any or many specific requisites of a man that would attract me, but rather how all his attributes fit together to make him who he is. Special, individual - man. There can be no stereotype. But a good man. A true being. A soft soul with a mind of steel. Who sees the stars but acknowledges his feet to be firmly on the ground. Who stands tall and proud of the battles he�d won, yet humble in the lessons he�d learnt for mistakes he�d made. A heart as boundless as the ocean and a depth of character as endless as an abyss. I guess I have been a vagabond for so long that I finally need to come �home�. Sometimes a weary mind needs a �hello� and a strong shoulder to sit against. It�s how we�re made. We feel therefore we are capable of love. We think therefore we have been granted the ability to choose. How lucky we are.
