ABOUT ME

Bit of a wanderer actually having worked my way around the world over a 10 year period, visiting Intentional communities, fruitpicking ,gardening and voluntary work with wwoof and Helpx organisations, before settling for 5 years on a small community in the French Pyrenees, where i learned many things about simplicity,ethics and compassion for other species that we share the planet with. I am mostly vegetarian but eat fish and gluten intolerant.I enjoy meeting people ,helping out with my practical skills.Seem to be in constant travel mode at the moment, looking for a place to settle down and hang up my rucksack

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

i am still new to couchsurfing, at the moment i am travelling and i participate by sharing my experiences and making friendships. as soon as i settle down again i hope to offer my own couch

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first couchsurf was in Bastia, Corsica with a young French policeman who kindly put me up on a mattress as he was renovating his flat, i was so happy that i bought some wine and pizza for us to celebrate, after this i did not couchsurf for 8 years, but now i have joined up again and have couchsurfed a bit in Australia and New Zealand and have had good experiences

Interests

Yoga,reading,swimming in rivers, cycling,travel i guess would be an obvious one, but always happy to learn new things from the people i meet.would like to learn yoga or Chi Gung if i ever stay in one place long enough. Interested to know how i can make a positive contribution to the planet.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

managed to get to the isolated Pitcairn Islands and stayed with the descendants of the mutineers

Teach, Learn, Share

Well being on the road for so many years and working and living with hundreds of people has been and still is a great experience for me and hopefully for my hosts, i really enjoy volunteering my time and living on the fringe of society and learning about life. This exploration has made me very independant and non consumerist, passionate about the environment and the other species that inhabit the planet with us. I am still constantly learning
