CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I'm Irish, 31, and have a lot of interests. I'm a lifelong learner, and have been recently involved very much with development of cultural networks, P2P, and all things open-source. I love to learn, and have a deep appreciation for beauty and life in all of its forms.

PHILOSOPHY
Was:
We're all going to the same place, we all came from the same place, lets enjoy our time, treat each other well and do our best to make life a more pleasant and diverse experience. To grow is to learn, adapt, improve, and have fun. If these are not happening go and change something. Try to do something new, even something mundane (like brush your teeth with your left-hand, for righties) everday.
Also 'game' is based on limitation within which we explore ways to get round that limitation to having fun, life is like this too, have fun with it, people who play in accordance with the rules in a dry and uninterested way become boring people and have less fun. Work less, play more.
Is:
pretty much the same...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love sharing ideas. I dance , spin fire occassionally, juggle, practice Qi Gong, and
I bring people together to have fun, learn and celebrate, organizing events and weaving supracultures.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

A chance encounter at a party informed me about the Berlin beach camp in 2008 and so, the next day, I packed and left and had a most wonderful time. I'm really happy to see more people looking to self-organisation to satisfy cultural needs that are lacking in the meta-(post-)modern(whatever!)world. Plus I love P2P platforms and socially evolutionary self-organisations...all round this is some lovely stuff, Well Done!...and CS echoing the social principle 'Common Sharing'...brilliant!

Interests

All things mind, all things body, and all things spirit...my name is Eimhin which in my mother tongue, Gaeilge (Irish) translates from 'É i mhí ann' to the one in the middle. I have taken this position with respect to most, if not all things. One day I hope to arrive at the still centre of outward rotation... ;)
