About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Help co-manifest a new reality; looking for a place to build a self-sufficient community

ABOUT ME

I grew up pretty normal, but started to change when I was about 18. I went backpacking, became vegetarian, moved to china, got into yoga, got into all things para-normal. Got to be a bit too 'out there/ crazy' for many people, but if you get to know me i'm sure you'll find someone interesting in the least.

PHILOSOPHY

Have you got a few hours?
We probably need some time to talk about it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've surfed in Japan, Argentina, UK, hosted in Australia, and China.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've had people from all over the world couchsurf with me (before I knew about this site) in Sydney; one person ended up becoming my roommate for over a year.
In China I ran a cafe, and had countless people crash on the couches there. Some arranged in advance, but many were customers too drunk to make it home.
I've couchsurfed in China, France, Morocco, Poland, Hungary, Germany, England, Japan, Argentina, Australia.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm pretty happy to exchange recipes.. I used run a cafe where i was the cook/ chef for a few years. I can cook food from almost anywhere, but Indian might be my favourite to cook.
Language exchange.
I'm happy to share knowledge about anything out of the ordinary... alternative views on pretty much everything, including but not limited to: history, politics, religion, spirituality, aliens, government conspiracies, the new paradigm, the coming of big changes.
