About Me

CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet people from all walks of life, learn more Spanish, to share with others . currently I am travelling the Americas for next year and half, when I return to the city I am looking forward to settling and to be able to host others. In past I have always had travellers surfing my couch but not through the internet. I love looking after others and being able to help it makes the world a better place to live in. I love these kind of exchanges, skills sharing and free economy trading, where everyone is left smiling and no money is exchanged.

Music, Movies, and Books

Pink Floyd, Django Reinheart, Fleetwood mac, too name a few. I love Music. Balkan, reggae, classical, techno, Breaks, Drum and Bass, Live music (espescially with violin) I love to jam , all music has its time and place, as does silence. Although there is some manafactured badly put together pop music that makes me feel nauscious, but what dosn't kill you makes you stronger.
I love books have read many Shantaram, Seagull, The life of pai to name a few of my favs. Recently on my travels I was told off for being English and not having read any Harry Potter so I gave it a go and found it to be excellent (just proves dont knock it till you've tried it). My favourite books are how to books and Art books that inspire me and give me new ideas,and ways.
Movies I like them too on occasion my favourite recently was Mr Nobody.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Travelled India on my own for 9 and half months, and met the Dalai Lama.

Teach, Learn, Share

With everyone from all walks of life ,In my experience you can find a common ground with absolutely anyone. There are always opportunity's to learn and grow in this life.
I prefer people who don't take life too seriously and are of easygoing independent temperament. And I don't really want to look after any nasty Fascist types, but if they do cross my path I will try knock them down with love. Hardworking tranquillo but busy temperament, I love skills sharing and have time for others. Its important to me to earn my keep, and to be helpful in any way I can. Me and Grzegorz Skic my partner have been investing alot of tme and energy into our project

Its called Muddy Fingers Environmental Arts - We run free workshops for Children and familys on subjects like Guerilla gardening, Marine conservation and cobbing for kids, we feel Art is a powerful communication tool to empower and share ideas.
