Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Interests

Love being in the vast Outdoors, away from the hordes, embracing the tranquility and honesty of nature.
Hobbies include photography, nature conservation projects, wildlife protection, free-thinking, and the sciences.
I have a vast knowledge and active interest in the world and its progress, with a desire to interact with others encouraging the flow of ideas/discussion to enlighten us all.
Knowledge is the antidote to stupidity and doubt.

Challenging oneself, stepping away from the safety of routine/comfort to explore oneself.
