Overview
About Me
I am a social entrepreneur with a background in organic agriculture and fairtrade.
My inspiration comes from having lived on an organic farm in Rajasthan, India, and having learned how to farm, sell, design projects and mobilise communities for social change.
I live in an international experimental township called Auroville, where there is no private property. To connect with my roots in Europe I want to travel overland in stead of by air. I dream of a Green Silk Road connecting Asia and Europe.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
One day there will be a network of hosts and travellers connecting all who are nudging the transition from the old-school capitalist extractive civilization towards an entangled socio-ecological way of life
