CURRENT MISSION

to paraphrase Jung, show me a sane man & i'll cure him for you! ^^

ABOUT ME

A little about myself: am mild mannered (shy), liberal (subversive), dry (impenetrable), and vaguely recall having picked up a book before from time to time - probably in a past life (to prop up my bust of Pallas, also from a past life.)

PHILOSOPHY

i'd prefer to listen to yours, in fact...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Why not? Where else do the world's oddballs hangout? :P

[I'm currently travelling for the rest of 2017 - sorry to say I wont be around - replies will take time]

Music, Movies, and Books

I like all the typical mainstream classics/rock/post rock/jazz/folk/world, plus fado and opera. I read whatever I find on the annual Booker's because I'm too lazy to hunt for my own titles. I prefer films where ppl talk or sing to each other for astonishing lengths of time... although Batman has been a known exception. I cry when I hear or see anything sad.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Probably bungee jumping. I would highly recommend it to anyone with a highly fertile imagination and money to burn.

Years and years ago I took my first PADI open water cert and ended up in a physical tango with a sleepy leopard shark. There's nothing quite so invigorating as the fear of impending death!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach u how to make basic dishes from a variety of geographical regions in Malaysia. I can also teach you basic swimming. And the Malay or English language. And I am a veritable expert at doing nothing all day.

I can also do a session of counseling for you.. I'm trained in this, and a very good listener. Sometimes it's nice to have an anonymous person where you can say anything, be anything you like.

I'd like to learn conversational French and Hindi. And if you can sing in Portuguese, please teach me one fado song.
