About Me

CURRENT MISSION

send out love and make this world better

ABOUT ME

My life mission is to connect, to learn and to leave each place better than I found it. Sometimes I'm not sure how I'm going to do this, or even if I'm any use at all, but I've been finding that a happy heart and good energy goes a long way.

To center myself, and keep myself grounded: I meditate, I spend time in nature (especially places with fresh water and trees), and I talk to people about real life and internal challenges that we all face and overcome.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is for learning, loving and growing. I do that everyday. and I love every minute of it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Friends I make along the way just happen to be couchsurfers! I have also stayed with a great Afghani guy in Japan and am now meeting a lot of development people through couchsurfing.

Interests

I'm into permaculture and organic farming. I love talking about politics and social change. I feel blessed to live in this age of time because we are experiencing some amazing shifts these days. I love the prospect of working with people to change over from conventional farming to organic techniques. I hope to do this as a career one day.

Other fun things include: hiking, looking at art, looking at new things, swimming in natural settings, climbing trees, connecting with people on a deeper level and having intelligent conversations

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

while working on a yacht in Tahiti a humpback whale and calf swam by, so we jumped in the water and snorkeled with them - they swam right beneath me. awestruck. it was a moment of complete presence.
