About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Universal experience

ABOUT ME

Spontaneous, free thinking, calm and content.

An experienced traveller, moving from place to place, gathering universal wisdom and sharing it with like-minded souls.

I practise, teach and write about a particular philosophy (see below) and unique psychological theory.

PHILOSOPHY

"Empty Flow" - merge with life's current by surrendering to the flow of Now.

If, while moving, you can be still ... thus stillness becomes intensely moving.

Life is art and we are the artists. Find, feel and express the energy moving within and increase the Love experience. How to do that? How to empty ourselves in such a way as to allow life to move us... that's what I write about and teach.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Pay It Forward - as I travel I give freely of my time and skills, contributing to a more conscious planet by bringing my experiences to you.

I have surfed more than I've hosted so am keen to pay that forward and welcome guests to my home when I'm there. Couchsurfing is a way of life. I guess it's like real surfing - one day you suddenly find that you have relaxed and can happily surf from one wave to another. Then you see that this world is actually a really safe place full of well-meaning, like-minded souls who all have the same vision of connecting together and sharing.
