CURRENT MISSION

To connect with like-spirited souls and to be a beacon of light in our world

ABOUT ME

I've spent the past 7 years un-tangling myself from my conditioned responses to the true creative magnificence of life. Having given up chasing a career and most other competitive pursuits, much time is spent in volunteering, travelling and working on the land.

Spent most of my early life in Far East (Japan, Hong Kong and Singapore). Ran an event and training consultancy in England for 10 years. The financial crash of 2008 provided the opportunity to get out of the rat race, simplify and commit more fully to waking up.

Now, with my beautiful wife Gricel, we've had the opportunity to follow life's call which has meant a fair amount of travel. 2012 was spent in Germany, 2013 was travelling through South and North America. 2014 began in the UK, then on to the east coast of the US to help establish a Buddhist monastery there. 2015 also began in UK but soon were back to the US to complete our work there. 2016 begins with Thailand, New Zealand and Japan ... then back to the UK, US and Peru for Christmas.

Hope to meet you along the way xxx

PHILOSOPHY

My joy and work is to bring people together and to co-create the improbable.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

While most of our experience has been surfing on 3 continents, we have hosted once and have met others surfers for coffee etc.

We're still without our own digs, though happy to meet up if your in the area..

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Thusfar, we have enjoyed surfing in Peru, Ecuador, Colombia and the west coasts of USA and Canada. We hosted once in the UK and so very nearly stayed with a host in Manchester. Every stay and meet has been a delight in its own way.

Interests

I'm interested in meeting people who are wanting to live an awakened life here on this planet, in whatever way that is meaningful for them. I love being inspired by the brave actions of people doing what they feel is right, often in defiance of expectations of society at large.

Music, Movies, and Books

Haven't listened to much music, read many books or watched many movies for a number of years now.

I do read and watch plenty on the Internet however. Mostly new science, meta-physical and spiritual in nature. I enjoy music of all origins, though find myself enjoying silence more than anything.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A few that come to mind include ...

- our Inca wedding inthrawled desert south of Lima
- the sheer helplessness experienced during a 3-day storm while sailing from England to Turkey
- bliss experiences in meditation

Teach, Learn, Share

I don't profess to know much I would look to teach, though plenty to share. Mostly, they would be of our experiences of the beauty that is being birthed upon our planet at this time.

I choose to share my time listening to my fellow beings and to collaborate in projects that ensure we evolve a planet that works for everyone.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can offer true connection, engaging conversation and will gladly muck in wherever I can.
