I'll be writing more soon

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to travel south east asia, i am a digital sramana - thats a spiritual seeker. I have been a buddhist monk for 15 years and i am not going to judge or try to influence them. I respect any religion or atheist, non-theist point of view - that is my way. I love music, talk, meeting people, helping others and taking photos or talking about art in general. Life is the art of living.

I would be glad to receive any help people can offer me as i don't have a conventional income - i rely on the generosity of others.

Interests

I am mostly focusing spare time on analogue photography with my collection of old cameras and expired film. Develop film, scan negatives, publish, print and share.
Meditation is my number one thing to do, but that doesn't mean i don't like hanging out, restaurants - for me enjoying life is a type of meditation. Appreciating what is around me and available and staying aware rather than lost in thoughts and judgements. I have never had trouble making friends.

Music, Movies, and Books

Old Blues, Electronic, 80s, 90s - guitar jamming live. Singing and laughing is more fun than just listening to music.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I became a Buddhist monk and stayed as one for over 14 years so far.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am pretty technically competent, if you have some problem and i can help i'm all about offering that service to people i know. I am pretty much an Uber nerd - but i have also been a professional guitar player for a living - so i am a mixed bag of interests.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Peaceful space, relaxed demeanour - non-judgemental temperament. Helpful, can cook and good conversation. Ask me anything, i am not shy.
