About Me
CURRENT MISSION
The continual testing of my wings
ABOUT ME
My first close friend when I moved away from home was fresh from Italy...and so began my initiation into the "other"--cultures, languages, music, literature, food(!), and all the subtle nuances that, if embraced, make us open up more and more to our Humanity, and if we are lucky, to our souls. Eventually I was led to travel alone in Europe (3 months bacame 15!)then back again, and after 6 years there, on to the East, to India and Nepal (been back 10 times). I have been roaming/meeting others ever since.
PHILOSOPHY
Do What You Can...And A Little Bit More.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Travelling so many years, I have slept upon hundreds and hundreds of beds, mattresses, futons, haystacks, grassmats and floors (India), being offered the spaces in countless homes, and offering the space I am in to others when I can. Unofficial Couchsurfing, that is.
Interests
Writing, travelling, good films.....being alone on the road with my thumb out (preferably a wee narrow road in the Highlands of Scotland!)
- writing
- literature
- dining
- movies
- traveling
- music
- languages
Music, Movies, and Books
I only read things (usually) that really speak to my soul...Hermann Hesse does the most...and Nikos Kazantzakis....Lao Tsu...The Upanishads.
Ditto for films.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
After years upon years traveling, meeting other people of numerous cultures, tendencies, needs and expressions, there have been many Amazing experiences....perhaps the rare moments in solitude of Absolute Peace were the most startling/meaningful/fulfilling.
