ABOUT ME

I was planted as a seed by my Father who's a conservationist and grown by my Mother who's a spiritual gardener so I've developed a keen interest and appreciation of the natural and metaphysical world. I hope that a lot of my life will be spent walking the Earth, discovering new cultures and people whilst helping out as much as I can along the way.

PHILOSOPHY

- You can never really know how other people view the world but we should have a good go at trying to understand them.
- The only way to reach an objective truth is to create it by sharing as many moments as you can with others.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I can offer a sofa in my shared student accommodation in Falmouth, Cornwall but not for more than 14 days.

Interests

I practice meditation every day, specifically Transcendental Meditation so this lays the groundwork for the rest of the comings-and-goings of life. I try to stay healthy and practice yoga often because a healthy mind is a happy mind. I quit drinking and smoking about a year ago but always enjoy going out and having fun, I would even argue that I have more fun now! :)
