About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I want to build my own business. Do some entrepreneurial things on the side. Am into personal growth. Like to make a social contribution.

ABOUT ME

OMG. Too broad. Let's leave it for specific email questions. Maybe after a while on CS I'll know what to say.

PHILOSOPHY

The reason for being alive is to learn, anything interesting or fun really, but also to learn about giving, love and compassion. The most important things in life are personal integrity, challenging oneself and treating every person with dignity and respect. Also, one should be very silly at times.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: Love Actually, Danny Deckchair, Out of Africa, Chariots of Fire, subtitled foreign movies, many others. Books: fiction - Jane Austen, Tony Hillerman, William Shakespeare, Agatha Christie; non fiction Brian Greene on string theory, Ekhart Tolle, Deepak Chopra, Robert Anthony on personal growth, lots of stuff.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The amazing things I've seen are really not amazing in the sense of being rare; they are around us at every moment.

Teach, Learn, Share

I used to coach career and life transitions. I am a natural, I think. I can't help doing it. I take a deep interest in people; they're fascinating! My English grammar and speech are good. I can keep houseplants alive. I'm sure there's other stuff. Maybe I'll think of something later.
