About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Operation fun times

ABOUT ME

I'm very laid back and fun. I enjoy anything that makes you think, from reading and debating to art and movies. I have very ecelectic tastes and try not to judge. I'm not religious but I try to treat people with the same kind of respect that I would like from others.

I love to laugh and I enjoy the company of people who also have a good sense of humour. I think we should all be as silly as possible, as much as possible.

PHILOSOPHY

Be good. Try not to let evil thoughts in. Spend time with those you love. Get plenty of sleep.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm just starting, but I'm a big believer in the shared decency of the human race. Our natural inclination is to help others, not to fight. The only reason we go to war is because powerful people tell us how different we are. But we're not, we're all one and we all just want to love each other.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Chicen Itza at dawn.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can tell you about Viktor Schauberger, Nikolas Tesla, Wilhelm Reich, Karl Jung and some of the other amazing people who have lived but aren't really talked about because their ideas went against those of the capitalist leaders of the world. I can tell you about how science and religion are finally meeting in the middle and how there were ancient cultures on this planets who understood some things better than we do today.
