About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I read this somewhere: To have a job where it's okay to not wear shoes

ABOUT ME

i have itchy feet, an (as yet) unfulfilled destiny andam currently living through the winter of my discontent. but a palm reader in rishikesh told me that all changes this year...

PHILOSOPHY

Let the Universe take care of you

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've had 2 surfers - both really lovely kids... I've met one awesomely superb couchsurfer who didn't stay over but spent a lot of time with m and my mates, so he's become a real friends... i met up with a wonderful host in darwin who i didn't couchsurf with but who showed me a bit of darwin i never would have experienced had i not known him

Interests

I love human beings and trying to work out what makes them tick. I love politics and am ready for a heated debate anytime! I also love it when people express themselves creatively - it's what life is all about, isn't it?

  • working out
  • walking
  • politics

Music, Movies, and Books

books: a fine balance by rohinton mistry (brilliant, very intense); the artist's way by julia cameron (a deity in disguise); still life with woodpecker by tom robbins (a literary acid trip); a house for mr biswas (very funny - i cried for mr biswas when i finished the book, because i was going to miss him)
music: it's gotta sound good played loud...
movies: 60s comedy; anything by woddy allen; nothing by hollywood blockbuster producers
