I love you Byron Bay and getting to know Becs' kids

Byron Bay I'm in love. I got here two days ago from Sydney by a night bus and my friend Sam whom I met two years ago in Gokarna, India - funny story I was hanging out in my neighbour bungalow place with two Finnish guys and left there to go to bed. It was a chilly night and there was a fire on the beach just outside of the place and a lot of people were sitting around it. I sat down for a bit and Sam was sitting there next to me. No idea what we talked about then but I met him again the next week in Varkala before my yoga teacher training class in Kovalam. We kept in touch and I knew that I was going to come to Australia and Byron Bay at some point and now that I got here, he came to get me from the bus stop and took me to his friend Becs' house.

I loved her home the moment I got there: longboards (one veery beautiful one from Globe - I'm gonna buy it so it's mine now x), hola hoops, guitars, crystals, energy healing cards, you name it... Front yard and back yard, a hammock, Ganesha statue and a wall cloth (my favourite Hindu God as well, or at least the only one I have stuff about), so I felt very comfy in these vibes. You know, after I learned the laws of manifestation I've been manifesting things that I want around me and it's pretty amazing how the Universe delivers. In Israel I remember I was hoping for a place with a swimming pool - and in Durban SA I got it, also in Sydney at Oly's there was a swimming pool. From Byron I was hoping to find a nice family whose kids I could take care of for a free stay, and Sam brought me here. Becs is a single mother of two adorable kids I met this morning and have been hanging out with since I woke up. They are an 8 yo scorpio girl Kanaia and a 4 yo taurus boy Taran, Tarzan and Mermaid I'd say, angels both of them. Now we're at Green Garage where Becs is working. All of us playing with our own screens. Taran just downloaded a game about dragons, he actually is a dragon, like me. He says he's a ninja, maybe he once was, he's pretty strong also, like my godson. And he has a Michelangelo mask. Oh yeah there's a boxing bag in their yard so there's a lot to do and I'm soooo happy to be here <3333

Also Becs is amazing. She's like me but a few years older, feels like a big sister I never had. We've been laughing so hard it's so good. The other night I asked her which one she would be: an Angel, a Mermaid or a Witch and after a while we figured she's all of them. And Sam as well. He's living in his van, working in Gold Coast and on weekends staying here in Byron, the van just outside of Becs'. He was showing me around Byron, the day I got here we borrowed Becs' longboards and cruised around the town to have lunch, check out the main beach and up the hill to see the cape and it's lighthouse. After a nap at home we drove to some other beach but it was very windy and a bit chilly so we just hung out in the van, Sam made some tea and cooked something he had in the van (asparagus, carrot and something else I forgot on toast). Yesterday when we went for a swim in yet another beach (so many of them near), I noticed I'm drifting further and further from the beach. I tried swimming but the waves were pretty strong. I was like shit I'm going towards the surfers I need to get out of here and went underwater a few times - the waves were big and strong - and a man with a surfboard that said lifeguard came to get me on board. Thank you sir and thank you God, wouldn't have wanted to drown here heheh. I've also seen Becs and Sam's other Byron Bay friends and they are all (B and S included) really nice, heaps funny, beautiful and unique people.

After a few hours at Green Garage, me and Kanaia left to spend a girls day. She did my hair, I did hers, I gave her the mermaid mirror I bought at the airport of Goa (not sure if I mentioned it), I showed her my bindis and other skin deco stuff and we put some flash tattoos on us, took our longboards and bikes and went for a swim and wave jumping, took many snapchat videos, played around in trees and other play area stuff on the way back and she told me a whole lotta things, about what's in her life. One day we go see Becs' favourite waterfall here, it's the biggest here if I got it right, our past home I'd say. Feels good to be home ey <3

Sydney wasn't my kind of place, I need nature around. City life is way too hectic for my vibe. But I met some cool new people, saw the homes and some families of my friends, ate at different places and experienced one night out, got a city tour and hung around Bondi, swam in couple of sweet places and saw a colourful sunset from a hill - facing the bridge and the opera house. Abe will probably come up to Byron at some point, he sort of lives somewhere here, but at the moment is working down in Sydney.

Also my plans are getting clearer. Leo, an amazing soul from England (Italy and Monaco somehow included) is less than an hour away from Byron so I'm going to go see him one day. He's working in a farm there to get the second year visa. If I want it I must also do something like that. But I'll think about it later. I've got the whole year. And I'm still a student taking a year off...sooo we'll see what happens. Laura, my French goddess sister (we met at our yoga teacher training course) is having two yoga retreats in Bali in May and today I suggested that I could come there and hold a class of my own, for a farewell party, because my yoga is a bit more dancing. And I need to practice teaching. I was gonna go to Bali for the yoga festival, but heard it'll be really expensive around that time for people all over the world will be coming there. There is a place two hours away from Ubud that an angel I met at the airport of Bangalore is managing. I trust that I'll get the answers as intuition when I need them. For now I just enjoy and create.

Last night I was home alone doing my thing when Sam showed up and he seemed a bit tense so I gave him a massage. He asked if we can do yoga now and I practiced teaching, it was fun! My way of teaching is showing and explaining what happens and where and why it is good, though after a few breaths they'll notice themselves. And I learn and make up new stuff while I teach so it's very authentic too. All depends on what issues one has, we treat them. The kids also love doing body stuff so it'll be an everyday thing in this building. And I can start marketing private sessions, dreams coming trueeeee <3

Lots of love, beautiful sounds and surroundings, scents of nature and taste of healthy food is more than I could've hoped for. So full of love this one. It's past midnight so Tuesday already. Good Monday y'all! I go to sleep now.

P.S. It's Tuesday morning already, couldn't get my phone's hotspot working last night. There's a third kid here for today, his name is Atlas and I got a vibe from Atlantis hahah. I love connecting with these special children <3

Back to Anjuna

My neighbour doggy Poppy

Poppy and his gay friend, but for some reason Poppy gets jealous of me if he comes around
About these dogs hahah it's funny but I keep thinking who dogs were in their previous lives. And based on the behaviour of these dogs somehow it comes to mind that the light one is gay, didn't post the picture where he's head's on his, well not on it but really close. But whenever I come around it's like Poppy's energy shifts so that he's embarrassed to hang around him and he only wants to be with me and gets mad at his boyfriend for showing up. :DDDDD So what do you think I came up with their previous life story? That Poppy was an idiot to gays and now has to experience gay love as an indian street dog. Luckily he found a young boy who loves him and made his parents let him sleep on their stairs and feed him. His boyfriend lives next door with some cows, a few other dogs and their owners.

Rohit's Hostel Pappichulo and the art there

Definitely pirates here





Cows everywhere

This one's eating garbage, heard also that they eat plastic and stuff...luckily I don't eat you guys anymore...winwin

At Disco Valley, meeting my friend Mila and her love





Cows and bulls react strangely when they see me, this one looked like he wanted me to come closer so I went. I gave him my hand and he smelled it and licked it. I started massaging his neck and shoulders (if they got any heh), and he did something that made me get that he wanted me to massage his temples, so I did. After I was done - felt like stopping - I went back where Mila, Oly and Babal were and this bull started making the throwing up-reaction and eventually took a shit there. Makes me wonder....

Now I'm in Sydney already. Yesterday, three guys I met in India two years ago came to pick me up at the airport. We drove to Oly's house where they had a welcome party going on. After hugging everyone I knew I took a shower before I met the rest. Got to know these guys more and also met new pirates, mermaid slash witches and everyone just vibed with everything we talked about. Good vibes. Thanks guys, was amazing welcome xx

Today has been a chill day. Some sightseeing, Sunday market and grocery shopping, home made lunch, laundry and some stretching. Got me an australian number and tried calling Maz, my Melbourne gurl, whom I'm going to visit next week! Tonight probably just Netflix (This Is the End, 2013 - Seth Rogen, Jonah Hill, Michael Cera and more acting as themselves) and chill, for I'm a bit exhausted. Tomorrow there will be a barbecue on the beach and after Lucien gets off of work we're going to Hyde Park to play in a Mirror room or something. Some crazy shit I'm expecting hahah. This is one crazy gang I'm dealing with xD 

Oly's mermaid sister was awesome, as were all the people I met, very special people. I already got many ideas what to do with them in the future, for I'm staying here the whole year. Hopefully finding a base close to Byron Bay. Maybe a family whose kids I can take care of for a free stay or something. All depends on who I will meet. At least I'm going to try and find a Japanese restaurant, one that a lady I met while floating in the Dead Sea in Israel was telling me about. Her friend's daughter-in-law was living there and looking for a math teacher to their 12yo son (love that age). Working with children is the best. They are a smell of fresh air that need inspiration, stories and example on how to act in different situations. I've come to think that everyone should have friends of different ages, to get the idea of the now life in each generation. I have friends that are 3, 5, 6, 9-13, 16-17 and over twenty, thirty, fifty and grandma age and it's funny how the now is different for everyone. People, drama and reactions stay very similar but the ways change. And the views of life differ for each generation have their own purposes and challenges. And because everyone's unique, every action is very unique. When looking at the bigger picture, every action has reactions too, as many as there are others watching.

First whole day in Sydney now done. The movie was epic haha a bunch of unique people with open and creative minds will do amazing things together. Thank you Australia for having me and making me feel like home.
