CURRENT MISSION

To stay happy, relaxed, in the moment and appreciate how lucky I am in this world :)

ABOUT ME

Tall, arty/crafty, laid back, down to earth, freedom loving part time worker keeping overheads low. I totally agree with and admire the CS values.

PHILOSOPHY

Just stop and breathe; no really....breeeeeeeath and be in the moment, smile, have fun. I think most interpretations of religion and western lifestyles are more than a little wide of the mark. Live life, love, be calm and patient. Ahimsa :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've slept on inumerable couches and floors, just never through CS. Friends, friends of friends, family and sometimes strangers have been my hosts. I gave two people free living/art space in my house in Amsterdam a while back; It was amazing to be able to offer something like that to two very interesting creative types.

Interests

Freedom, freedom, freedom, autonomous dwellings, earthships, permaculture, homes on wheels, outsider art, art/creativity in general, plant based veganism power, reminding myself to stop and simply "be", finding inner stillness and peace, trying to be a better person, living a simpler life, meeting good people and those whose innate goodness can be encouraged.

Teach, Learn, Share

Be confident that you are as good as anybody else; because we are essentially all the same. Make eye contact, smile, be open to change and new experiences. Listen to the world around you, be aware of the natural world and your true nature.
Volunteer, It will feed your soul.
