CURRENT MISSION

I only have one CS experience so far. I have been visiting friends or renting rooms in flats for my stays over the last 18 months. 2015 means a move back to Barcelona, at some point, to improve my Spanish. I love meeting new people who have been interesting places so I'd like to meet similar people via CS.

ABOUT ME

Finally got myself out of the UK in 2013, after being back there for 5 years! I'm now back in London for a few months.

I love the great outdoors and like to explore, be in the sea and sun, meet, talk, listen (to the sea also) or just chill enjoying music, wine, films or documentaries! I worked in music and film and Dj'd in different countries over ten years so I've traveled a bit (and partied enough now, well almost)! I like to be helpful to fellow awake 'Earthlings' and others! The Buddhist part of me believes that life is best used being happy with yourself (while improving), being healthy (as much as you can) and helpful - where possible!

I'm a chilled person, I enjoy cooking, having dinner parties (other parties). I have lots of old good friends (I don't mean they are actually old people) who are now all over the world. Kinda hoping to visit them all (one day) but the list keeps growing so it's probably impossible.

Lots of funny, crazy, amazing, dangerous adventures that keeps life VERY interesting....

PHILOSOPHY

Buddhism is the best description - the modern version - my version!
