CURRENT MISSION

Travel, Write, Meet! 55 countries, millions of people, one beating heart

ABOUT ME

I am a wannabe artist; a tolerable designer, a random thought collector, a popcorn poet and a fulltime dreamer. a part time writer with a pathological dependency on spell check. a notorious and indiscriminate user of American and English English. an amateur photographer who hopes things just click. an illustrator who can only use paint and has a phobia of Photoshop. a fly-by-night philosopher who loves the radio; dancing, singing and walking. a traveling nomad and a hopelessly hopeless romantic. a fast bowler who loves hot food, especially Mexican, Indian, Thai and Chinese. a life enthusiast who can't decipher his own writing. a near-extinct bachelor and a self professed teetotaler who is really an adrenaline junkie.

PHILOSOPHY

Life goes on and we learn to live. There is no tomorrow, have a nive day.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am travelling. I intend around 55 countries and I write...Anything can happen. I may do 55 or stop at 30. So far I have been to NZ, OZ, Singapura, India, UAE, Nepal, Egypt, Oman, Sri Lanka, Malaysia, Phillipines and Thailand. I return to the Antipode haven for respite in Sydney and Wellington after Perth. I love life and after mom, have realised that you only live once - so why not live and not merely exist. For now I travel but i promise to host at least for the number of days I have been hosted. Karma. No. Give and take.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I loved my first experience in Perth with the Latters. They were lovely.
I enjoy meeting people and not really experienced as yet but can say for a fact that most people on this planet are good people and I feel I will meet the best, somehow.

Teach, Learn, Share

Reiki

Quiet corners at a long hall with two lights
candles and lamp - a black buddha
a cane chair and the universe

chanting and sound of pissing
no Godfather themes nor Scorpions
lit from within these candles

warms Sydney on a cold night
you raise your hands and channel
the Chinese bowl as it vibrates with my soul

I breathe after an eternity of love's thorns stuck
in my throat and heart
like a crab that walks into the ocean
poisoning it with love sweet love
