A philosophy graduate some years too late, now being done with it. I've seen my fair share of love, despair, sickness, beauty, wisdom and idiocy; and yet I've not traveled nor gone out in the evening nearly enough.

I've practiced writing, poetry, boxing, taijijuan, yoga, theatre, meditation, and yet I'm no master of either.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I wish to meet new people, well versed in the lives I've never known, to open up reciprocally and learn something about our experiences - or just lend a helping hand for a small step in their journey.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

If it was sensible to write it here, I don't believe it'd be so amazing.

Teach, Learn, Share

I guess I can teach a few things about philosophy, literature, theatre and spirituality - though not exactly sure what. Oh and I can listen, and learn from listening you, and making you see what I'm learning from you that you didn't know.

As for me, I'm interested in learning anything about any and all of the arts, including the art of living, in all her incarnations; and about how best to live and/or travel; and about any opportunity that might lead me to link the former and the latter.

What I Can Share with Hosts

All of the above plus a lot of gratitude, my availability to help with anything that's needed and a hope that I'll be able to reciprocate your generosity.
