CURRENT MISSION

My mission is to revolutionise human existence without using the 'revolutionise human existence' app. To think, to write, to think again, to travel, to adventure, to experience, to meet new people, to challenge inequity and prejudice and ignorance.

ABOUT ME

see below...

PHILOSOPHY

Always look to the Other, try to broaden your horizons, the project of life should absolutely not be the project of self. The way forward involves empathic understanding and collective effort.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Ummm... looking to meet interesting people, share experiences and explore new places.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm new to this and hoping my experiences will be positive. I'm interested in people from all walks of life, so I'm thinking they will be.

Interests

Literature, philosophy, hiking, adventuring, art, writing, politics, international relations, social justice, mountains, beach (swimming/surfing), people.
I'm an animal lover - any one that has dogs, cats or horses... let me sleep on your couch... (and let's go horse riding!)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hitch-hiking through the Kurdish regions of Turkey and riding a motorbike through most of Southeast Asia are both up there.

Teach, Learn, Share
