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 Holistic Coach, Writer, Facilitator and DJ. Also a dreamer, a joker, yogi, avid meditator and spiritual seeker. I've lived in Melbourne all my life but have spent the last year living in Thailand and other parts of south east Asia.

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.

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.
