CURRENT MISSION

To surf on your couch! To visit some places in Turtle Island and travel my way down into Latin America. A lot the most inspiring poetry and literature has come out of California for me. Most notably Gary Snyder's land inspired poetry and would love to see what inspired him and others.

ABOUT ME

Hello, my name is Felix. I enjoy hiking, boogying, asking myself who I am, I like the group 'air' as it were - Like communal projects I can work on and get excited about with others. I also find it refreshing to spend time alone and come back to myself every now and then.

Finished an English BA and focused Gary Snyder and cultural relationships to the land. A subject still close to my heart. I'd love to see some wilderness spaces in my travels and spend plenty of time hiking.

I really enjoy Feldenkrais, an awareness through movement exploration. Discovering how we hold our selves and move and this relationship to emotion / who we imagine ourselfs to be perhaps. Akin to Alexander Technique I've heard... I intend to study this in the next few years.

On reflection, all this makes me sound quite serious, I'd just like to add I'm a very relaxed person :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

More experienced in impromptu couch surfing... When needs arise around me I've offered and received couches.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Surfed on a couch in Brighton through this site. Have spent most of the last several years living in tight and shared accomodation so not really in a position to offer a space as of yet.

Music, Movies, and Books

Laurrie Lee, 'As I walked out one Midsummer morning' a beautifully poetic novel about walking through Spain in the 1930s

Joyce Kilmer - Trees

I think that I shall never see
A poem lovely as a tree.

A tree whose hungry mouth is prest
Against the earth's sweet flowing breast;

A tree that looks at God all day,
And lifts her leafy arms to pray;

A tree that may in summer wear
A nest of robins in her hair;

Upon whose bosom snow has lain;
Who intimately lives with rain.

Poems are made by fools like me,
But only God can make a tree.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The laundry. (I'm more than happy to do yours too!)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I enjoy cooking.

Practiced in the Dorn Method; http://www.dorn-method.com/ has some info about it.

Would like to practice this more as I've completed my initial training and to become a qualified practitioner I need lots more practice. Each session takes 45 min - 1 hour. It is a lovely, simple treatment which works to align the patients joints and spine in a gently and non evasive way...

Countries I’ve Visited

France, Germany, India, Italy, Portugal, Spain, Sweden

Countries I’ve Lived In

England, Wales
