CURRENT MISSION
To live as mindfully as possible while having fun! Interested in deepening nature connection.

ABOUT ME
I'm flexible and enjoy meeting new people.
Currently working on a farm and enjoying being more in tune with the seasons.
Plotting a land project in South Africa which happens to be my favourite place on the planet.

PHILOSOPHY
Permaculture ethics:
1. Earth Care
2. People Care
3. Sharing of Surplus

Permaculture ethics promote a system which is life-affirming, and creates a sense of reverence for all life on the planet. By embodying and living these principles, we ensure the continued survival of our species, the health of the planet and maintain a healthy respect for life itself.
I'm also quite fond of the Buddhist teachings on impermanence.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because its a great way of meeting, connecting, and learning from people across the globe!
