CURRENT MISSION

A Way to Home

ABOUT ME

I'm part of the Agroecology Land Initiative based in Wales, UK.

PHILOSOPHY

"habit is the chain that ties the dog to it's sick"...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Think a lot about the importance of the practice of hospitality.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've been hosted in Moscow, Berlin, Valencia and Granada. I've hosted in Salisbury and Bristol. I used to go along to the Intercambio de Idiomas in Barcelona and I went to the language exchange in Cairo a couple of times.

Interests

Music, playing and listening, reading, helping people out and back in again. Wandering and wondering about this and that. And the other. And music.

Music, Movies, and Books

I seek to consume as much music as possible to list the obvious; Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Leonard Cohen, Nick Drake, John Martyn, Tom Waits, Bert Jansch, Captain Beefheart (and his magic band), Jimi Hendrix, Tim Buckley, David Bowie, Joni Mitchell, Van Morrison, Tim Hardin, Love, John Renbourne, Radiohead, Arthur Russell, Elvis Costello, Miles Davis, David Bowie, Tim Buckley, The Smiths, Velvet Underground, The Pixies, Super Furry Animals, Radiohead, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, Vashti Bunyun, Davey Graham, Jackson c. Frank, The Rolling Stones, Roxy Music, and more and more and more, all of it....

I let books find me but I give them a hand. Just read Asimov's history of chemistry.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once worked as a shepherd on the remote Orkney island of North Ronalsay. I tended to a rare breed of sheep that live on the beach. There was a wall around the entire island to keep them by the shore. They ate seaweed. I ate them. (I am not a strict vegetarian)

Teach, Learn, Share

I have a guitar. I can teach you the blues triangle. I speak the English. I can teach you the present perfect.
