CURRENT MISSION

To find deeper meaning, understanding and knowledge of myself, the universe and humankind. To share love, laughter and happiness.

ABOUT ME

I'm Jai. I'm a Dr of Chinese Medicine, Kambo practitioner, life coach and DJ. ALSO a dreamer, a joker, yogi, avid meditator and spiritual seeker. I've lived in Melbourne all my life in quite a few different areas so I know this place pretty well by now !

PHILOSOPHY

Life is short, make the most of it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love the idea of sharing knowledge, experiences and helping out strangers in strange lands. I believe some of the best ways to see a foreign country are through the eyes of its local inhabitants rather than conveyor belt tourism.

My last big adventure was to South/America for 6 months and then the states for Burning Man in 2016. I'm about to head back on another trip to the USA for 5 wks and then perhaps beyond into central and or south America again.

Interests

I have a strong connection with spirit and the natural world. This can be found in a lot of my interests. I have always been a searcher, adventurer and enjoy finding ways to expand the box and grow/evolve, discover more about myself and the universe.
