About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Headed to Romania, thence to Ukraine border for Relief operations. Possibly to Mariupol.

War has never solved any conflicts. SAY NO TO WAR, STAND UP 4 PEACE

To manifest peace and inclusive co-creation of our future by uniting communities globally through meaningful cross border dialogues, interactions in the realms of socio-economic, cultural, sports, humanities so peace could reign, life can be profoundly meaningful, fun-filled, spread love and light around and see more smiles on people's faces, culturally enriched living in harmony and upholding human liberty

ABOUT ME

Freethinker yet grounded in the values-based approach. I believe that our world is one large global village where borders and differences exist in our feeble and insecure minds. Race and biological differences are man-made flaws that have fragmented our human race and schisms in our societies. I simply choose to touch, move, transform, inspire and empower people in this world to spread the light of love, harmony, peace, beauty, adventure, and live life meaning-fully, to live a life of myriad Possibilities

PHILOSOPHY

"But do not ask me where I am going, As I travel in this limitless world, Where every step I take is my home." Dōgen

What lies behind us is insignificant compared to what lies ahead of us, and what we think in our mind and believe we can manifest and we always have a choice in everything we do. So lets take responsibility in being graceful, helpful, kind, compassionate, loving and authentic at all times to spread light and happiness around, sharing our resources which is in abundance, as abundance truly starts from within our hearts and souls

Love. Be light and kind and Gracious. Joy can be found in little things in life only if you are open to the wonder universe has all around us. Be true to your soul. If we can laugh at ourselves we are truly blessed and we shall endlessly and abundantly be amused and assuredly live a rich and wholesome life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Host and surf (haven't in quite some time now)
I come from a culture and family where we believe "guests are Gods in disguise"

Anybody who is respectful, considerate, clean, trustworthy is welcome to share my humble abode of living.
No smoking, no alcohol, no drugs. Without exception.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Have hosted and surfed, and am glad that I did and do .. . have met some very fine quality authentic people making friends for life . . . and am certain you may as well. One can impact and be impacted by people by simply opening your doors to strangers and start the remaining life as friends. If not friends.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Too many for words . . . Too many yet to see and experience

Be it camping overnight at the bottom of the Grand Canyon, or bivouacking in the high altitudes of Himalayan ranges, or diving around Borneo or trekking in the rainforest in Borneo, treks and canoeing in Adirondacks, kayaking and white water rafting on Ganges, Beas, Chenab, Indus and other rivers, too many amazingly beautiful experiences to list them all, yet I feel there is so much more to explore and so less time in this life time

Teach, Learn, Share

Learn: Cultures. Healing techniques from different parts of the world. Amazing places for travel. Indigenous technologies. to play musical instruments (imagine people with lead feet trying to dance: I am same in music)) and so much more

Teach: Visioneering, Inner healing, guided imagery, jungle survival, search and rescue, canoeing, kayaking, speed boat handling, rock climbing,

Share: Connections. experiences. safe spaces. knowledge (if you can call it that !) Optimism and exuberance for life.

To touch, move, transform, inspire and empower as many people in this world in this lifetime to make our world a better place to live. For all.
