Sobre Danni

I love life more than most and try to live it with as much variety & zing as possible. I'm a freelance copywriter/art director in advertising and publishing (sometimes I work from home and sometimes I work at my clients offices). I am also a professional sailor & nomad. I dabble in TV production (documentaries). I've worked in many industries from being a DJ, to teaching, to financial planning. I get board easily. I am vegetarian (& have a food: gluten allergy), don't smoke. I am a Raynor Massage Specialist. It is a deep tissue massage and I am working on a separate profile for that on Air Bnb. It is a specialised system of bodywork blended from eastern influences such as: Shiatsu, Lomi Lomi, Thai massage, Reflexology, Eastern Chiropractic work, Acupressure, Chinese Medicine, Ayurvedic Massage, Reike & Yoga breath work. My travels were inspired by reading National Geographic magazine as a child. I took a 3 year sabbatical to hitch hike across Africa, then I learned to sail boats and ended up delivering yachts all over (almost circumnavigated; pirates got in my way) Africa & Europe...came home...missed the sea so then sailed down the Caribbean chain....I've lived with all kinds of people in all kinds of conditions and cultures... I am addicted to travel (been to around 50 countries), sailing, sports & adventure! I am a Canadian adventuress. I've finally made it to where the grass really is greener, the mountains arch their backs into a clean, golden sky, the lions purr with a purpose, and impetuous rivers rush to the most beautiful oceans. I've been stalked by a lemur, slept on a beach under a starry sky and awoken to a village, three snakes and the ocean greeting me in the morning. I've also wrestled a Zebu, had dinner with a family of Dassies, had a stand off with a village chief and traversed half a country in a pirogue (a long, narrow canoe). As if this wasn't enough, I've also had to chase a spitting cobra from my computer, peel leeches off myself after hiking through a pristine rain forest, driven through rivers and even scared crocodiles out of the hot spring so I could go for a swim! I’ve assisted with ceasarian sections, been the clean up crew at an accident site & transported dead bodies from one Mozambiquan town to another. I’ve hiked in the Drakensburg, slept in caves, tracked 100 wild elephants on foot, sailed through a hurricane, rode horseback through God help me pass, swam with dolphins, and drove a steam train. I've been on archaeological digs digging up my ancestors in Croatia. What’s next? Needless to say, I have some really good stories to tell. When your life flashes before your eyes.. what will you see? I am frustrated that I now live in a country where gardening, sailing, caving, cycling, mountain biking, hiking, surfing, stand up paddle boarding, kayaking, canoeing, para-sailing, windsurfing and festival season all start at the same time!!!! Let me know ahead of time if you want to plan an adventure! I am well versed at finding them and look forward to hosting you!
