About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Designing a world we'd all love to live in

ABOUT ME

I like to go to new places without much of plan, meet new people and open up to fun and adventure. I like to laugh and share about what we each know.

I'm a writer, web developer and (sometimes) improv actor who travels the world, living in different cities, working on several creative projects over the course of a year, running several online businesses.

I love sustainability and I'm a passionate vegetarian - plus I'm a bit of a fitness nut who likes to meditate and do yoga :)

PHILOSOPHY

Listen, feel, let go and trust.
I used to focus on controlling life, planning and goal setting. Now that I've been travelling the world for getting close to 4 years, I've a much more fun, calm and enjoyable way to live is to let go, listen to what's going on around me and in my heart, and follow that - at the same time take action and following my passions.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm a good cook, very tidy, happy to clean up and share responsibilities around the home.
I love to share my knowledge - I know a lot about healthy living, travel, business and the Internet - plus other stuff! :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I was very fortunate to stay in some wonderful couch surfing places in Europe - one in Sarajevo had the most spectacular view I've ever seen! The experience was truly remarkable.

Interests

Travel, adventure, meeting new people, challenging myself (and others;), meditation, yoga, fitness, vegetarian cooking, personal development, Landmark, jogging, cycling, hiking, writing, acting, internet, film, music, reading, camping, gardening, tech startups, sustainable technology, digital branding and Internet marketing and social media!

You could say my main interest is healthy living - which means I don't do a whole bunch of stuff, like: I never drink alcohol. Never smoke anything. Never do drugs. Don't eat meat. You get the idea ;)

Music, Movies, and Books

Most movies - I've always been a big fan of the cinema!
All types of music.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Being a Buddhist monk for 2 weeks in Burma, begging on the backstreets of Yangon barefoot!

Teach, Learn, Share

I have a big passion for healthy and well being. The things I love share with others are are some of the areas I've studied or researched:
Healthy food, psychotherapy, neuroscience, alternative cancer treatments, yoga, meditation.
Plus: How to run an Internet business that makes money, create a new brand, how to write a book, how to travel the world on a shoestring - but live really well.
And as much as I like to share, I love to learn - and I have a lot of topics that interest me. So basically, whatever someone knows, I'd love to hear about it! :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

My skills in meditation (24 years daily practise), yoga, writing, travel hacking, online business, to name just a few ;)
