About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Finish my Masters in Public Health once and for all

ABOUT ME

Well I'm an easy going relaxed kinda person who likes having fun but that can also mean having a debate on the finer details of a contradiction in terms :)
I thought one day I might be more sedentary, but that is just not how my life has panned out, so I have been lucky enough to have had a reasonable look around this miracle we call Earth and the more I look the more I cant get enough of it :) Especially if there is waves to be surfed!!

PHILOSOPHY

Its not the destination but the journey that matters.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Although I have heard of couch surfing for awhile, my participation is at the introductory level, but I would like to change this status, I mean why not cut to the chase, this is potentially the perfect way to meet all those awesome people you have always wanted to meet.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

While I have not to date hosted or have been hosted via the "official" CS mode I have certainly through my travels been privledged enough to have had amazing acts of kindness and openess bestowed on myself. Basically wonderful people opening there minds and hearts which I have (hopefully) reciprocated.

Interests

Surfing, surfing and more surfing, hmmmmm and when I'm not surfing (waves not couches), people, cultures, landscapes,sustainable architecture, ecosystems, smiling, laughter, fun, organic agriculture, dancing, philosophy, swimming, running, riding my bike, connecting with other human beings, the moon, the wind and the stars, and they all went together in a little row boat, clap clap, clap ya hands!!

Music, Movies, and Books

Anything with enough sub-bass that you can kinda feel it more than hear it!!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Watched a praying mantis (alien looking insect) dance to minimal techno.

Teach, Learn, Share

I honestly think we can learn from just about everyone. In my experience almost without exception whenever I have taken the time to listen to someomes "story" there is depth and learning in there.

Australia, Belgium, Fiji, France, India, Indonesia, Ireland, Laos, Malaysia, Morocco, Nepal, Netherlands, New Zealand, Portugal, Samoa, Singapore, Spain, Sri Lanka, Thailand, United Kingdom, Viet Nam
