CURRENT MISSION

to be comfortable with paradox

ABOUT ME

Let's share this experience of being human together! What does one say here? I'm a pretty decent guy. Enjoy adventure, whether it's trying a new restaurant or jumping off a mountain with a parachute.

PHILOSOPHY

Sanity is for the Unimaginative.

We're all just peas in the same cosmic pod. So lets be nice.
I am you and you are me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I speak whale too... "haaaaallllooooooooooo"

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Watching a lunar eclipse from Lion's Head in Cape Town.

Chatting to a 94 year old German ex-Count (as in noblilty) about his experiences in WWII and his memories as a child in his palace.

(yes, I seem to be having trouble counting...)
Moonlight, a starry sky, a quad bike, and a volcano caldera in greece... Truly magic!

Teach, Learn, Share

I am learning that as long as we push or pull, desire or fear, attack or withdraw... as long as we polarise ourselves, we remain wobbly and unstable. We're all little suns - both radiant and magnetic, push and pull. We're the perfect paradox.
