About Me

CURRENT MISSION

A student of truth, swinging on pendulums of the glorious adventure that is life

ABOUT ME

I write mostly, constantly in search of truth and light, compassion filled understanding, I'm journeying through and navigating this life and space.

I love cities and am interested in how people engage urban spaces on a grassroots level and how creatives use various forms of art in the spaces they live and work in, how culture is evolving and how artists are representing this through their work. That said, my heart is most at peace in nature, around mountains and water.

PHILOSOPHY

Love and Light

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'd like to surf and host

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I heard about couch surfing a few years whilst travelling through South East Asia, as a community of travellers and was simply amazed at the concept, and the almost revolutionary audacity of it.

Interests

I love the arts. All forms of art as a means of expression from theatre to photography to dance and design and everything in between. I adore travelling and meeting new people, everyone has a story to tell and I love hearing about them, writing about them and sharing them
