Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Expand my awareness and love of all that is!
ABOUT ME
An open freedom-loving individual who cares for all he meets, looks for the adventure and joy in all things. Optimistic and passionate, my interests lead me to conclusions about this universe some friends consider mind-twisting! But all in all, I'm a person appreciative of simplicity as much as of the fascinating details of our world.
PHILOSOPHY
love will take you to the highest peaks of your potential
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
While i am in Glasgow i provide a couch to travellers weary from the rainy days, or meet up and give ideas about places to see. I also spend a lot of time travelling so i will hopefully be meeting many people in the future who i can share the energy of my adventures with :)
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I'm new to this!
Interests
My main interest is music, I love playing any instrument i can get my hands on, but nothing does it more for me than the sitar, where many hours seem to dissolve into mere moments. Alongside music i have always been keen on the ancient and contemporary wisdom which has been passed down through cultures all over the world; this includes meditation, use of herbs and teacher plants for healing, philosophy, psychology and aspects of the natural sciences. Always looking to learn more about this world we live in and understand, empathize and share with others.

Music, Movies, and Books
Movies: anything from the realm of the surreal, but can appreciate most as long as they are either thought-provoking or spiritually uplifting.
Music: Most music will get me moving, have great love for indian classical music, but as well most stuff that was coming out during the 60s was amazing. Folk music, blues, rock, jazz and world fusion all tickle my heart and brain. And not to forget the frontiers of electronic music which can bridge our mathematical computerized present with our tribal/spiritual/esoteric origins.
Books: Spent many of my earlier years immersed in books, i do less reading now. Some of my favourites were Dostoevsky, Tom Wolfe, Ginsberg, Kerouac, The Third Policeman by Flann O'brien, Herman Hesse, Milan Kundera and anything dealing with the core of human experience
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Amazing experiences are always round the corner, no matter how small or how much it happens the synchronistic events of my life take my breath away. Another great moment was my first travelling alone in spain, not speaking any of the native language but still communicating with the people i met.
Teach, Learn, Share
There's so much i want to learn, so that i can pass it on. Music is my main thing but i know many bits and pieces about different things so i hope you can take something new away with you if you meet me... I am happy to share whatever i can!
