CURRENT MISSION

to become slowly aware that everything is always changing without ceasing.

ABOUT ME

I have been living in Thailand for about 14 years. I used to travel a lot, but now i am just enjoying being in one spot. And now, I began giving a tour of this great spot which you can do through withlocals. com called 'off the beaten path with Brian'.

I love to hang out, do work and meditation. I have a girlfriend. She is Thai, and we've been together for the past ten years.

PHILOSOPHY

Everything is how it is, just to know this.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have been down many paths and have been to many places, but life is just about being aware of just normal everyday stuff. Life doesn't need to be figured out. All of that just gets in the way.

Teach, Learn, Share

You only have two things basically, a mind and a body. Both the mind and body are changing around all the time, are impermanent. Our personal understanding of ourselves is based around what we think, but thought is just something impermanent. Take a look for yourself, at how the mind and body work and see that they are both impermanent, out of control and ultimately, unsatisfying.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Hosts, meet people that you think you have some connection with.
