Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Explore Canada, especially focus on Appropriate Technology and environment and people friendly activities
ABOUT ME
Exploring life, the world, myself. I'm interested in most things I come across, currently want to make a difference in the world. Currently on an unstructured road trip across Canada in a vegetable oil burning RV home-built of a short-bus. Environment friendly and community building activities are what I'm looking for in the near future.
Update: in Surrey BC for the winter, I've bought an organic juice and smoothie business that operates in the summer at festivals across BC and AB.
PHILOSOPHY
Life's great. Live it.
You will reap what you sow / be the change you wish to see in the world / you get what you give / do unto others as you would have others do unto you / recoge lo que siempras
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Want to meet couchsurfers for local connections for meeting and seeing life in cities as we travel across Canada. Also surfing some couches will be a nice break from staying in the small RV. A nice normal hot shower on occasion will be a luxury!

Surfed in Thunder Bay, ON and Winnipeg, MB. Spend months in Calgary visiting and renting a room from a CSer.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
There have been some amazing sunsets...
Teach, Learn, Share
I love to exchange knowledge learn and teach!!
general handyman around the house, in the garage. Computer networking professional. I know a bunch of stuff and like to learn more!
Fire spinning, I taught poi for 2 or 3 years at a circus space in Toronto.
Have a TESOL certificate, have some training but no real experience in this field.
I love to eat, and have over the years developed a decent hand in the kitchen. Have some commercial kitchen experience, but really I'm good at casually feeding a group from whatever food happens to be around. I have a mobile spice rack I bring with me. Mostly east Indian inspired.
I have an interest in alternative energies (appropriate technologies) and would like to be involved with your project at home to learn more and get my hands on, be it wind, solar, geo-thermal.. or composting, vermi-cultur... urban gardening.. you name it. If you are just thinking about it, let me help get you information and motivation to start your personal project. If you are doing it, I'd like to see what and how it is happening and help you out anyway I can.
