ABOUT ME

I love to travel, looking forward to meeting new people on here and I love cultural exchange of all kinds. I'm particularly interested in different spiritual world views. I am an artist and technologist, I love hearing interesting ideas and bringing them to life through collaboration and invention. See my site www.Benjaminoutram.com

PHILOSOPHY

There is so much truth underlying spiritual traditions of all countries which I think is lost in the western scientific materialist view of nature. I am interested in learning as much as possible, especially to see what we all have in common. I never want to loose a curiosity for life that seems to often happen when people get old, which is why I studied physics, did a phd, and lived in Japan.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love to surf (have done in Taiwan, China, Belgium, France, Thailand, Japan), and I have hosted in Oxford.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've had very unique and exciting, beautiful and wonderful experiences being hosted. You never know what you're walking into or what is going to happen. The only plan possible is to float along like a cloud with the wind.
