ABOUT ME

Somewhere between a child and an old man.

PHILOSOPHY

Despite the distinctions and barriers we create between ourselves we are all thrown into this world together and do our best to find our correct path. I don't think I can summarise how to live more succinctly than Saint Augustine:

Love and do what you will.

Something to aim for rather than the reality of my life though.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Hosting and surfing

Interests

Travel, meditation, reading, hiking/walking and generally being in nature, motorcycle touring-these are things I do regularly. I'm not really a formal 'hobby' kind of person. I prefer to try and experience new things rather than dedicate all my time to one 'hobby'.

• meditation
• walking
• reading
• traveling
• hiking
• surfing

Music, Movies, and Books

Favourite movies include Apocalypse Now, Fightclub, American Beauty, Lost in Translation.
Ambient, Jazz and Classical music for relaxing. Electronic music such as Deep House/Tech house/DnB etc for dancing and a bit of acoustic and rock at other times.
These days I mainly read books about mysticism and spirituality from various religious traditions. Favourite books include 'No Boundary' Ken Wilber, 'Zen and the Art of Motorcycle maintenance' by Robert Pirsig and George Orwell's 1984.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've been lucky enough to be able to travel and meet a lot of interesting people in my life though I guess for couchsurfers that's not really 'amazing'!
