Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Digital Nomad in Thailand
ABOUT ME
I love thoughtful, witty, open, connecting conversation with people who can both think and feel ... and I try and offer the same.
PHILOSOPHY
Live in the moment with faith in the future and the understanding "that we're all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively" (in the words of comedian Bill Hicks).

Hosting at the moment
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Couchsurfed in Australia and NZ in 2005-6. Made friends, been part of the family, felt at home, and eventually realised my hosts were getting something from it, too. Since then I've hosted in UK, Mexico and Thailand, but enjoyed it just as much.
Interests
Open and fun people, creativity/writing, stuff filed under consciousness and spirituality.
In 2012, I published a novel, Human+, and had a podcast for a while in which I interviewed people in subjects mainly connected to human potential.
Currently involved in the crypto/web3/DeFi sphere, mainly as a copywriter.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Couldn't pick one, so....
Back when I was younger and less responsible, with three backpacker friends, I scammed a 5-star penthouse suite in a Sydney hotel, with bridge and opera house view, and access to the roof to film sunset and sunrise.
Lived at a permaculture commune in Andalusian countryside.
Vipassana meditation retreats.
Full moon party on shrooms, Koh Pha Ngan.
Learning Thai massage in jungle near Chiang Mai.
Medicine ceremonies & MDMA psychotherapy.
