a friend recommended Couchsurfing as a good way to make travel more personal and affordable and as a way of meeting local people. I prefer a sharing, caring economy and life to a service economy and expect to meet more like-minded people this way.

Books (some current favourites): Michael Singer: The Untethered Soul, Pema Choedron The Places that Scare You, I enjoy watching Ted Talks and on youtube people like Marshall Rosenberg, Charles Eisenstein, Gabor Mate, Tara Brach....... Films: Crossroads- Labor pains of a New World View, The Green Beautiful, Thrive, Shawshank Redemption, I Am by Tom Shadyac my musical taste is fairly eclectic.
