CURRENT MISSION

Learning how to be an Urban Shaman

ABOUT ME

Hi guys, I'm Adrian.

I'm pretty laid back and chilled. I enjoy conversation and people and ideas are the most important things to me.

I'm originally from South Africa but at the moment, I teach English in Cambodia. I really love the outdoors and would love to get out there more.

I'm at the point in my life where I am looking to find my place in it :) . Find my home.

Getting to know how I work is probably the focus of my life :-) , in this vein I am into abstract ideas and philosophies. But I also enjoy living and loving and doing. I like having a good time as much as anyone, mostly because my brain can work overtime.

The things I love most in life are nature, animals, outdoorsy things, music, dancing, just being with the people I care about. I really, really want to get more into camping and hiking than I have been. If somebody out there knows about climbing, please teach me.

I want to go base jumping and whitewater rafting, I've never been but want to sooo badly.

South America is BIG TIME on my list, Macchu Picchu, the Amazon etc.

I am learning to play the guitar and violin. I am writing a Sci-fi novel and I am working out and learning to do yoga.

Teaching English, studying Shamanism and learning languages as well as soul searching. And doing the best I can :) .

I'm working out and getting fit. I've done well so far.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am happy to help people in whatever way I can. I'm a pretty good cook. I also do massage and I do reiki.

I'm very new to CouchSurfing, but hope to participate much more in the future.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Total Beginner, but my friends have given me good impressions.

Interests

I love Nature, I am into hiking and would love to be outdoors as much as possible. I am into fitness and have been on a steady gym plan for about two years. Recently got into yoga and really enjoy it. Big fan of Sci-Fi and Fantasy. I like learning and having a good time.

Music, Movies, and Books

Huge fan of The Wheel of Time series and well as anything by David Gemmel, David Eddings, Terry Brooks, Tolkein (of course), Arthur C Clarke, A.A Attanasio, Greg Bear, Laurel K Hamilton, Jim Butcher.........

Sci-fi, fantasy, cozy horror.

Music, well I love to dance. One of my closest friends is a DJ and he and his lovely lady got me into drum and base. I love trance, house, not a huge fan of electro, so dubstep is okay but not the majority of it. Trance with vocals is awesome. I love rock and roll, goth music, punk, indie.

Lykke Li, Metric and Santigold are on my phone right now. Also digging Nichola Roberts. Basically, I just love good music and by that I mean what I like. If I don't like it then I will definitely say so.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

1. First time coming into Singapore. It was early morning and there were a lot of clouds. The colour of the sky was amazing and then when we went below the clouds and I could see Singapore coming into view. It was very beautiful.

2. Visiting Green Island in Taiwan. Rented the scooter and drove round the bend and broke into tears at the view. Felt like paradise.
