CURRENT MISSION

I'm still trying to save the world but I'm not so sure how to anymore.

ABOUT ME

I've spent about half of the last 11 years traveling in Asia. I first came to study in Thailand with a Taoist Grandmaster, and stayed to write a book about health and longevity. Often I trade healing sessions and health knowledge for hospitality, since I've studied holistic health for over 20 years. I practice Tai Chi, Qigong and yoga, and studied Shiatsu for a year.

Basically I'm a digital nomad now. I teach English online at nights, manage my herbal business a little in the morning, and the rest of the time I explore, read books and hang out at local coffee shops.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

If you really want to experience a country, I think meeting local people is the best way. Some of my best experiences have been while living in the Thai countryside or traveling solo on a motorbike around the country.
