Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
There's a whole lot of world left to explore...
ABOUT ME
Life is short. Don't take things so seriously. Especially yourself.
I'm never happier when I'm on the move, meeting new people, getting through challenging situations. Life was not meant to be lived in one place.
I love dogs. If you have a dog I may never want to leave.
I have a great interest in the meaning of life and am always keen to hear other people's philosophies and ideas. Although I lost my idealism a long time ago.
And I constantly change my opinions and ideas so this will all be wrong by the time u read it..
PHILOSOPHY
Try to find the middle way. Don't crave or cling. Try to take every moment as a new experience. At the moment I'm trying to be more open with people.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Surf and host whenever I can. In Beijing I go to the couchsurfing meetings and a lot of my friends here are couchsurfers.
It's sort of a life philosophy for me - we should share everything we have.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
The world is your friend. I love the idea of sharing with people and being open with new people, breaking down the barriers that our way of living creates.
Interests
I'm interested in travelling and in learning new ways of thinking about life. I enjoy experiencing different peoples' perspectives. I'm interested in alternative living, living in communities and more away from society. I think people can really learn from each other and from putting themselves in new situations to learn about themselves. I'm trying to learn as much as I can about world religions but feel more affinity with Taoism and Buddhism than any others.
I also love music and like to party! Life is full of contradictions...
I'm a lover of every type of tea there is ;)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
If I told this now I'd have nothing to try to impress people with in bars..
Teach, Learn, Share
I'm a qualified vipassana meditation and hatha yoga teacher.
I qualified in Thai massage and love to practise :)
I can teach sign language but it's Nepali sign language!
