About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Building structures out of local, on-site materials

ABOUT ME

From my friends mouth, "Ganesh is the most warmhearted person I know, he looks a little funny, but he's really quite lovable. He can talk too much sometimes, especially when stoned, but you just have to tell him and he'll stop."
Thanks Dan.
Mostly I think of myself as confident, tall, gangly, strong, very free spirited, very open minded and definitely more or less out there, where ever there is...

PHILOSOPHY

Ultimately I believe that life is only here to be enjoyed, that there is no ultimate purpose to anything and that nothing matters any more than anything else.
In the day to day I am either loving life or rolling with the punches, the less I resist the faster things pass, and the less I cling the more things I desire come to me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have never formally couch surfed before, but hey, I recon it beats sleeping on the streets.

Interests

Being of an extremely curious nature, I am interested in, or have been interested in a God awful number of different things in my 30 years.
Here is a list off the top of my head:
Rock climbing, guitar, spirituality, meditation, mountain bikes, cars, trucks, electricity, animals, plants, foraging, hiking, running, reading (anything and everything) sex, primitive skills, tipis, alternative construction, hot springs, cabins, gardening, carving, cutting firewood, etc. etc.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The moment I realized that my lover was actually me, that we were two sides of the same coin. And understanding that we have sort of been made for each other.
Finally finding out that I can and should ask for what I want in life, that nothing is impossible and life can be exquisitely beautiful.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know a fair bit about a lot of things, including:
Natural construction, animal processing, living in the woods, living in community, homesteading, gardening, etc.
