If you think of travel as a way of learning, Cs is great because it enables people from widely different backgrounds to meet and share. It makes you travel while staying at home! I discovered Cs alongside Workaway in Peru in 2018. I fell in love with both surfing and hangouts while hitchhiking from Casablanca to Prague in spring 2019. Then I started hosting, in Dobřichovice (CZ) and in Leiden (NL). Now more active on alternative platforms.

Music: rock, folk, avant-garde... Cinema: Cuarón, Miyazaki, Aronofsky, Linklater... Fiction: Brave New World, Dune, Brothers Karamazov... I have myself written many poems and reflections, in English, Czech, Spanish and now हिंदी. Although I've left them behind, I was influenced by Alan Watts' (Out of Your Mind) and Jordan Peterson's (Maps of Meaning) lectures. They made ancient religious traditions clear and useful. If you want to enjoy philosophy, other great entrance points are: the Zhuangzi (second Daoist classic), dialogues by Plato (e.g. Symposium) or Black Skin White Masks by Fanon (to understand racism/colonialism).
