Hi! I'm Dan

Nature lover / life appreciator / arty person / musician / thinker / doer / laugher, smiler... and much more...

Currently in recovery from some tough years of bad health, and live in love and appreciation of all the blessings that life can bring, even if it's still challenging at times.

I believe in belief... and that the whole truth in what is possible lies outside of the one you have learnt of so far...

The journey is always continuing x

Music, Movies, and Books

I love music, it's part of my every day. I play saxophone, ukelele and drums and sing, write and record as well. Genres I like include folk, rock, acoustic, reggae, dub, psy, hip hop and beats, ambient, JAZZ, soul, funk, classic stuff like hendrix and so on... Music from all around the world...

I haven't seen many films to be honest... I like them when I like them!

Yes to books! Anything that resonates... I tend to read of science and spirituality, medicine, shamanism, philosophy and so on.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I way younger I spent years fundraising for a new skatepark for our community, that was a great thing.

To borrow from another couchsurfer though... The most amazing thing is that I have lived, and continue to.

Teach, Learn, Share

I could teach things such as
- my experience of life and basic philosophical concepts
- playing instruments or making music
- woodcarving, art skills, art/design
- of the lessons I have learnt through the years...

I would love to learn:
- spanish! My sister is fluent in multiple languages and it's about time I made a start on one, too
- of plant medicine, which is of great interest to me currently...
- of your life, and whatever you have to offer and share from it... That will vary from person to person.
- much more... let's see!

Sharing is key to it all...

What I Can Share with Hosts

Humour, compassion, empathy, kindness. Respect and thanks, laughter, music, discussion... An opportunity to share life.

I will help around the house to earn my keep, if you live on the land I will help you with your projects and work if you would like me to. This is an exchange platform, after all :)
