Hi, my name is Jimi and my wife Libby and I are travelling around the US for three months at the moment. About me? Well I founded a mental health charity and movement called Live More Awesome, I built the World's Biggest Waterslide, have written two books and have many other crazy and interesting adventure stories that I can tell you.
My mission in life is to spread unconditional love and help the people of the world realise that their mental health is vitally important and they need to look after it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because staying at hotels isn't fun. I don't really like them, they're sterile. Adventure comes through meeting people, people with great stories and interesting lives that are different from mine.

Interests

Here is a quote I love: "I hate small talk. I wanna talk about atoms, death, aliens, sex, magic, intellect, the meaning of life, faraway galaxies, the lies you've told, your flaws, your favourite scents, your childhood, what keeps you up at night, your insecurity and fears... I like people with depth, who speak with emotion from a twisted mind. I don't want to know 'what's up'."

I'm interested in people, how they tick, how they fit in the world and how they contribute to it.

• books
• traveling
• billiards
• socializing
• magic

Music, Movies, and Books

I like non-fiction books, lots of different movies and all sorts of music.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I swam an inflatable pool toy 425km down New Zealand's longest river, it took me 12 days.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you a lot about mental health, how to look after yourself and change your perspective of the world.
