ABOUT ME
I tend to be quiet, dont drink(95%), Vegetarian(75%), Smoke(20%)(hand rolled), like reading, people watching, sharing views ect........
A six month 'spiritual' trip round India in 1994 visiting ashrams & Holy sites, learning meditation & yoga and meeting HH Dali Lama, Sai Baba, Sri Ravi Shanka & many other spiritual leaders radically changed my view of Life, Reality and Purpose....
So: in 1994, I became a 'traveller' and have lived mostly in Europe since then.
I have travelled extensively & worked in India, Thailand, Mexico, New Zealand, Australia, Morocco, Spain, France, Switzerland, Germany and Holland plus short visits to many more, driven HGV Child Aid convoy trucks through Tanzania & Malawi and have sponsored & visited a Tibetan monk for the past 15 years.
I have a market stall that I set up on any 'local' markets wherever I am and sell Fossils & Crystals, which I find in the Sahara Desert where I usually chill out for Winters, (too cold in the North). I also do Meditation and Thai & Swedish massage. Everyone says that I should write a book on my travels and maybe one day I will, (Insh Allah).
PHILOSOPHY
Buddhist.
We are all Human beings.
Beauty is in the Eye of the Beholder.
LIFE is a Learning curve.

Teach, Learn, Share
This is the beginnings of the future CouchSurfing University, a school where everyone's a student and everyone's a teacher. Surfing isn't just about a place to sleep. It's about exchange. From esoteric knowledge to practical skills, we all have special knowledge that others will benefit from knowing.
