CURRENT MISSION

At present I am recovering from working at several festivals in Spain and Portugal and trying to write an essay

ABOUT ME

Half the time I am deeply serious and concerned the other half I am dancing and laughing

PHILOSOPHY

I'll let quotes speak for me:
'we are all patchwork, and so shapless and diverse in composition that each bit, each moment, plays its own game. And there is as much difference between us and ourselves as between us and others.'

Michel de Montaignes

"All composed things are like a dream,
a phantom, a drop of dew,
a flash of lightning.
That is how to meditate on them,
that is how to observe them."

The Buddha

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

At the moment I am looking for a couch but I'll be able to receive people when I get back to London too!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have couch surfed in Marseilles and helped out surfers in London.

Interests

I have many interests, I enjoy playing guitar, organising parties and festivals, I practised Shaolin kung fu for seven years, I love living and going on long walks in both the city and the country side, philosophy, art and literature are all incredibly important for me as are films and current affairs.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Setting up social centres in London for the last four years has allowed me to see and do many amazing things.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach how to make many asian dishes from my time as a chef including Sushi, I know Kung fu, Buddhist meditation, Chi kung. I can play the guitar but I am not formerly trained. I have a good knowledge of contemporary Philosophy and Politics. As well as this I have practical knowledge in most areas of construction.
learning is a continuous journey, we all have something to teach each other.
