CURRENT MISSION

Going there, discovering how to be here

ABOUT ME

I have a passion for people, the planet, and music. I try to be an open-hearted and positive presence in the world.

PHILOSOPHY

All we have are moments
asking our hearts
to open to the mystery
and trust our own paths;
to find the well inside
and carry our love
to life's rivers
and pour it in the flow

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Not currently able to host, but hope to be able to soon. In the meantime I'm enjoying couchsurfing, and meeting other couchsurfers who are visiting my local area or live here. I'm looking to travel more at the moment and to do more couchsurfing.

Songwriting and making music (I sing, play guitar, didgeridoo, and am in a samba percussion band), creative writing, hiking, surfing, snowboarding, being outdoors, climbing, reading, meditation, spirituality, yoga, growing food, global change, the evolution of consciousness.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Swam with dolphins

Teach, Learn, Share

I can help with English skills, especially writing (creative/academic/journalistic etc), teach you to play some instruments, share my knowledge from my work about social and environmental change, and share my understandings about spirituality and meditation. I'm an experienced snowboarder, so if we're near snow I can teach you how to snowboard, and if we're near the coast I can teach you how to surf!

I want to learn more practical skills such as building and making things, improve my cooking, learn other languages.
