| Bio: | I had ceased writing in this journal regularly about a year ago as I moved over to Blogspot but I've decided to re-open this journal and pledge to update it as often as I can! I'm a 27 year old vegan, Sagittarian, Scottish lassie who has led a pretty full life up until this point and the plan is for that to continue until the day I pass on. I am passionate about life, culture, spirituality, development and so many other things that I can exhaust myself! I aspire to stay as open-mided as possible about everything so I am constantly learning about new ideas and ways of living. At times I feel I can be a tad un-Western as I don't believe specialisation in one field promotes self-development and the world would be a more educated and understanding place if we all tried new things and developed our right brain as much as we do our left! Yet I love the fact that I am a Western woman who can comparatively express my individuality without recrimination. I would regard myself as the quintessential eternal student as I studied full-time at University for over 7 years in the Social Sciences including Sociology, Psychology, Philosophy, Anthropology, Social Research and Community Education. I am currently undertaking a distance learning course in TEFL/TESOL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language / Teaching English as a Second or Other Language) and I'm also learning Spanish (with the emphasis on Latin American). In October 2008 I am off to Latin America to volunteer with various organisations undertaking work such as: youth development, community development, sustainable development, teaching and animal welfare. When I return in 2009 I am planning to teach English in China for a year as well as volunteer for animal rights charities. Life is both for the living and the learning. I shake my head in dismay at the worldwide atrocities that occur on an everyday basis, yet I am truly thankful that I am alive and that I have a role to play in making this world a better place. Travelling and meeting new people from different cultures refreshes me as, although I love Scotland with all my heart, I can get bogged down with the dominant Scottish viewpoint on life and I need to break free every now and then. Bring on October! If you think I sound like a cool gal then please add me as a friend! Only through communication and education (not strictly in the formal sense) can we all progress and live our lives to the fullest! | |||||
