About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To be able to do a back flip

ABOUT ME

Life was going great until my Dad got sick and died. Now i no longer have a wife, family or a business and a Dad. Figure out what to do next whilst not giving up on my dreams is a challenge. Not being a person that gives up means i can see how i have grown and the opportunities ahead of me. Not running away from the past but moving on. I now direct traffic and i used to make cheese. I have ideas i am working on and love to share them and hear about other people’s.

PHILOSOPHY

Embrace the change, be the change to create the change. We have responsibilities to the earth and each other. When I honour these I feel empowered and capable of achieving my ambitions. Also live and let live.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I can tell stories until the sun comes up or listen to yours and dig the garden or cook a meal if you like. Good for the quiet times or the wild times. I just need a break from my reality.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None, but have encouraged lots of other people to do it and been looking forward to being able to myself.

Interests

I like walking around new places and finding good places to eat. Meeting people. Learning new skills and about other cultures.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Built a dairy and cheese factory and got it running. The birth and growth of my children. The time spent with my wife. Surviving to know what I know and have to strength to share it.

Teach, Learn, Share

A life time with animals and a good understanding of the principals of soil. Making cheese bread. Life and my understanding of it...What i call dance floor magic and it's healing potential.

Buy food , gardening, cleaning. Good with animals. My experiences of life and my perspective on theirs.
