About Me
- Briefly Describe Yourself
-
I'm a Gemini - I fluctuate. But, my duality comes out in my play time, not in my emotions.
I like contradictions; like listening to Bach on the way to an Arctic Monkey's concert.
I love to dance - not hip hop though, if I could I would but really, watching me try is like watching your grandmother rock out to 50cent at your cousins wedding. I'll do it with a smile, but I won't really know what's going on and eventually I'll use my arms.
A perfect day for me is spent progressively eating & drinking my way through the city, walking & talking with a good friend (or two) and ending the night dancing.
I practice, and teach yoga.
For the last 7 years I had a lucrative career running the US division of a global textile company: www.malabarusa.com. I recently resigned to spend some time re-organizing my life and to start Not Another Guide.
More specifically, I am Australian and I have lived in the US for nearly 10 years now and I am very excited to see the possibility of building community through Not Another Guide. - Your Age

Melbourne, my home town is rich in culture, expression, good coffee and it's kind to the avid city cyclist. - Provide a few tips that everyone should know abour your city
-
Be kind.
Don't be in a rush.
The subway is safe.
Tip the bartenders and your wait staff.
Check to see if the restaurant is cash only before you sit down.
The fortune tellers who sit in the windows will always tell you your chakras are blocked and you need a $50 intensive session.

I keep my days pretty gentle up here. The terrain sort of whispers it. The nights, when you find the right place, can be just as loaded and debaucherous as those in the city, but you have to ...
