About Me

Open minded, easy going. Love adventure and discovery. My mind is thirsty. Natural environments and historic cities inspire me. Good listener, explorer, a thinker. I like challenges and new experiences.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meet new people and see how they live and what makes them tick. Expand my mind, enjoy a great brownie, go for a coffee (decaf soya latte 😜). Learn some new tricks?

I am also a writer and take much inspiration from meeting others and travelling the world, so I'd love to hear your story!

Interests

I'm laid back by nature. I enjoy stimulating conversation but also value solitude and natural settings. I love trekking in forests. Wanderlust is probably an understatement.

I just recently started to use couchsurfing to help in my dream of backpacking around India and living a free-spirited life.

I'm in the process of writing a few books.

I'd love to go stargazing more often, go on a walk in the country or camp out.

Music, Movies, and Books

I have a long history with metal but my musical taste is diverse. Recently I have been enjoying Tool, Karnivool, Shpongle, RHCP, Blur or even Fleetwood Mac.

A few favourite writers: Orwell, Huxley, Watts, Bradbury, McKenna. Add me on goodreads 😊

I like classic movies or good Sci fi and fantasy. Themes of time travel, awakening, paradox, dreams, spirituality tantalise me. The Matrix was a documentary?

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once had a near-death-experience involving a fence.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love talking about energy and meditation, or the way the mind works. As of May 2019 I will be a qualified yoga teacher.

Philosophy, psychedelia, and psychology. Literature and movies. Mountain biking or walking in the countryside. I've always got a book or two on the go.

I love animals and the natural world. I'm a grateful Earthling!

I've been to many concerts in my time, I've also been fortunate enough to visit all seven continents, so geography and cultural differences are also a good topic.

I'd like to learn more about cooking or gardening. Maybe even a new skill. Language interests me too, and I would like to develop Spanish, German, French or even Sanskrit!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Respectful and quiet type when in your home. Stimulating conversation if the vibe is right, passionate adventurer. Travel stories.

Enthusiasm for new experiences, art forms, wisdom, coffee shops and mountain tops.

Let's crack each other's heads open and feast on the goo inside!
