About Me

I love being quiet and I love being wild. Life in its infinite facets never ceases to fascinate me.
Nature has to be my primary inspiration and all encompassing love.
I love water and swimming, climbing treas, waterfalls, rivers and mountains, surfing, hiking, kung fu, art, yoga, flowers, birds and insects, gardening, drawing in my sketchbook, listening, dancing, laughing riding a bicycle.
The more time active outdoors the better for me.
I enjoy my own company and the company of others. I value freedom.
I strive to be impeccable and live like a warrior.
I'm kind hearted and a bit strange.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've had many wonderous experiences of unexpected sharing and hospitality during my travels and to give back by being part of an international travel community is a good thing.

Interests

Im interested in just about everything. I'm especially interested in people who are interested. I like people who can get into someone (or something) else's shoes. Anthropocentric? Obsessed with your superiority as a human? Don't bother talking to me! (Hah!)
A little list: plants, languages, astronomy, geology and geological history, rocks and minerals, exercise, art, business, genetics, philosophy, martial arts, extraordinary states of perception.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love animated films as well as anything intelligent and\or funny and artfully done. Music: I love most of it; classical, tribal, rock, pop, folk and country, nice male and female vocals. Books: I eat them up, swap them, cant think of all the books i love now - recent reads: John Steinbeck - Tortilla Flat (hilarious); Richard Dawkins - The Ancestors Tale (fascinating); Harper Lee - To Kill a Mockingbird (sad but hopeful). I love a book that makes me laugh and think at the same time, writing thats a bit off the wall, but on the button. (Ah and poetry)
