After 5 years on the road in Turkey, Spain and Mexico I am back living down the road from where I grew up in sowerby Bridge, West Yorkshire. Happy to host travellers and show them around a little when possible.

I live with my girlfriend and we are both happy to meet and host travellers for shorter stays. We are planning to relocate to Europe or Latin America have a spare guest bed which fits 2 and couch so can accommodate 3 comfortably. The town is surrounded by hills and a variety of landscapes to explore with relaxed country pubs to unwind and a couple of decent live music venues. We are both into foraging and have been finding lots of edible wild plants and mushrooms this year including boletes and enjoy the walk and integrating them into new recipes. There's so much wild food out there, it's really altered the stroll through the woods aspect of life.

I like CS because it connects people without an economical focus. Breeding interconnection and kinship through kindness. Societies have and can exist like this......

Try to be the best you can be, to self-actualise, otherwise you will fall into the many traps that are waiting.

Its about the connections we make.... Urbanisation and modernisation ARE happening, we can't avoid it but you have a choice if you want to be a part of this or Indigenization. For all I wish for freedom from confusion and to feel blossoming buds of earth based consciousness. Happy surfing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

There is wisdom to be gained on the road and that it is a great system for breaking down the physical walls that separate us.

Its still biotech but facilitates human interaction between real beings.... thats the major difference para mi

Interests

Travelling- it puts one in the midst of the essence of the earth, a moving being hurtling through a strange but wonderful universe, are we not all a little nomadic at heart? Yeah i reckon so :)
Experiences and reflecting upon them through art/poetry
Becoming a better and more balanced person
Harmony
Trees of all shapes and sizes, pine oak, its all good. preferably with roots in the ground...
Stories and warm fires under the moonlight.
