CURRENT MISSION

Contributing to Egyptian emancipation

ABOUT ME

I left England in 2007, left my job and home to travel on some savings. Life goes by so quickly that I look for fulfillment now, not when I retire.

I have no children and have settled my affairs in London.
I travel light and have spent the last 3 and a half years in hotels, like a rock star but without the wanton destruction.

I do not have a sense of humour, there was just no room in the luggage to take it with me.

I am self contained on the whole but can lose my head for some people.
I am a free spirit actually.
I can be lively and provocative.
I support the people I meet.

PHILOSOPHY

To live in awareness, to be intelligent, to feel deeply.
To live free of self-image.
Life is not an intellectual exercise.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have no permanent home to offer a couch but I make an intelligent and considerate guest.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None

Interests

Singing made up songs, psychology, art, music & exploration.
I am more interested in freedom than art, these days.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I saw a giant lizard slip silently into a garden pond and disappear.
I saw a screaming, raging, street swingeing alcoholic turn into a man.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am skilled in Gestalt dream analyis, an English teacher and experienced practitioner of Yoga Asana and meditation.I learned about these things in England and continued in India.

I can teach photography and studio flash techniques.
I started photography over 20 years ago.

I can offer energy, advocacy, inspiration, skill to assist in political activism and human rights advancement.
