CURRENT MISSION

To live a happy life :)

ABOUT ME

I'm really curious about life, and love to travel and try new experiences. I used to be in the military and lead a very uninspired repressed lifestyle, until I discovered yoga and meditation. I've since left the military over 7 years ago and have devoted my life so far to understanding who I am/we are. Life is more difficult but much richer, much more free and inspired.

PHILOSOPHY

I've been exploring the notion that our beliefs separate us. Our beliefs in who we are, what we are, what we believe in, they all have the power to separate us. So I'm trying to learn to live a simple, fun, interesting, life where I am as happy, and share my happiness and insights to those I'm around.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

In the beginning of the summer I was new to couchsurfing but since then I have hosted quite a few people and met some amazing friends. Its been great fun hosting people and meeting individuals I would never have met otherwise. Sharing stories and food and sometimes going and doing things in the city.

Interests

I'm interested in everything it seems. I like to learn, to try new things. At the moment I am really trying to learn piano, I've also kept up my guitar playing. I'm helping a production company make a short film, and running my own juice business. I love to bike, I biked all year around last year, all through the winter as well. I just love that form of transportation. Lately I've been getting into Acro Yoga and have done my (regular type) yoga teacher training a few years ago.
