CURRENT MISSION

Trying to survive on a day by day basis in the biggest city in the world.

ABOUT ME

The self is purely illusory and this illusion is conditional. For this reason I am a little bit skeptical about trying to describe myself. We are all in a constant state of flux.

I will go so far as to say that I am a British man living in Japan and I enjoy learning and hiking and swimming and music and drinking beer. I don't want to be limited by any of these attributes!

PHILOSOPHY

It is your mind that creates this world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would be delighted if anyone passing through my area wanted to meet up for a chat, a coffee, a beer. Anything really. I would love to show visitors around my the town.
