ABOUT ME
Taking some time off from office life and hoping to learn a trade, work with my hands, apply permaculture principles to my life and connect with new people wherever I go. Looking to find a home, a place where I fit in, where I feel I am constantly living life to the fullest and am never short of new things to be inspired by.
PHILOSOPHY
I'm working on this everyday of my life...
You are what you put out into the world. Act without expecting in return. Enjoy the process and be happy in the moment. Try not to regret. Slow down. Breathe. Feel.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Just getting into the couchsurfing website, although I have been unofficially surfing couches since I started traveling in 2006. One day when I settle down I will open my couch up to couchsurfers worldwide!
