CURRENT MISSION sing country songs by the west coast, reach satori, love the earth and my fellow beings ABOUT ME Right now I'm a traveling musician, working part of the year and traveling and recording the rest with several bands like 'Equinox the peacekeeper', grunge band 'Firefang' and my own project 'A drifters heart' ) When I'm not touring I live in Ghent and fix bikes for a living. I also make videos, treehouses and hats... I consider myself radical, queer positive and I am involved with environmental issues and have been a treesitter and organic farmer/food forest designer/planter. I have wwoofed and done volunteer work from Canada to South Africa and have extensively hitched and bummed around. PHILOSOPHY days up and down they come, like rain on a conga drum, forget most remember some but don't turn none away. To see a World in a Grain of Sand And a Heaven in a Wild Flower, Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand And Eternity in an hour. (William Blake) I'm Nobody! Who are you? Are you-Nobody-too? Then there's a pair of us! Dont tell! they'd banish us-you know! How dreary-to be-Somebody! How public-like a Frog- To tell your name-the livelong June To an admiring Bog! (emily dickinson)

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING I have fun and make as many beautiful connections as I can... I have a lot of friends and can hook you up with cool people in many places - share ideas and positive thoughts. When surfing I can do your dishes, clean, provide musical and conversational entertainment, or just be totally unnoticable and out of your way... Everybody's welcome once I have my own place again ( I'm on the road for now) COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE Loads with or without CS - squatting, sharing and hosting I have also intensely wwoofed for 2 years and then hosted wwoofers on a communal farm I have run with a good friend of mine, where we do a study center on agroforestry and forest gardening.

My Interests
Life really... to live it, deeply, thoroughly, sensitive and humble, exalting and soaring high, crashing deep and once again rising upon one's scars, unto the utmost emotion. The polarity in life is not to be discussed, it is to be lived.
