ABOUT ME
I was couchsurfing before I knew it had a name, walked a lot, though at lot, carried a lot, loved a lot, lost a lot, gained a lot, the usual heroes quest, dabbled in mysticism, martial arts, moonshine, all good jungian tail-chasing stuff :)
PHILOSOPHY
We are responsible for the world we live in, inner and outer. So I try not blame others for the state of things, things are as they are, to not whine when the world in not as promised, to change myself, motivate others and dare to dream.
Everything in moderation, including moderation!

Music, Movies, and Books
Beat poets, fabulous Hunter S, James Joyce, Orwell, Huxley. Any music made with passion. I collect 1970 How-to books, and especially love the Whole Earth Catalog and books sold through it.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Vipassana meditation in India - wow it really is true what they say about becoming what you think about most. Swimming in a crocodile infested lake at 5am was one of the times I've felt most alive in my life.
Teach, Learn, Share
I could take somebody on a nature walk in Britains first area of outstanding natural beauty (AONB) & practice hatha yoga at home or on the beach.
