ABOUT ME

Warm greetings... I'm in a transitional stage of my life at the moment... Enjoying being on the road again, travelling openly from Egypt to wherever I end up, generally heading south, until July/August... In the past 13 years or so I have been mostly interested and focused on how to exist in as much a self-sustainable way as possible, with progressive and conscious focused purpose... trying to be balanced with moving alot... sometimes focussing on different things, like music (made an album, if you are interested here are 2 links to my online music: https://www.facebook.com/transitingash
https://soundcloud.com/transiting-ash)
I am vegetarian always, and am vegan and vegan-raw if the environment allows it naturally and comfortably...
I have been jumping around kind of creating focusses and developing my inner voice to become harmonious with my outer directions, it seems like an endless journey sometimes, destracted and off-course, but i realise it is all a niche, and alot of times it has been inspirationally life-fulfilling, other times just flowing with waves... i have been experiencially moving, and also earlier living/working on farms in different places including in Auroville, India, before that doing INGO work in Armenia, Georgia and Latvia... Before that, i was experiencially moving )in a different way than now) for about 4 years, following natures wind and finding random ways to make money to keep moving, staying short times in some places and longer times in others... I am musical and play a few instruments, i love music, especially percussion...

PHILOSOPHY

i trust my intuition and follow it as much as possible

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have been with CS for about 11 years and have stayed with and hosted many different people from many different places! I also took part in a short documentary promoting CS for Montenegran National TV. I have surfed and hosted alot. Although i feel like CS has gone in a more negative direction over the last 6 years or so, since getting more popular and open to exploitation more, still, for me, just being part of this kind of movement adds something to the progression of humanity... seriously.. exchanging of ...anything... is usually extremely positive.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Lots of CS experience now! I think CS is a very good thing to have in this world...
