About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I'm on my way to...SHAMBALA!... ( isn't everyone)- Im on my way... to ME!

ABOUT ME

I am an outgoing, positive, deep and sensitive person with an open mind.A very open mind. And I am probably one of the worlds greatest travellers... why? because its not the places you've been that count....its the dimensions.

PHILOSOPHY

Be true to yourself no matter the cost...no matter the sacrifice. And be kind, humble and where necessary... ROAR!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I firmly believe in the way of the traveler and in hospitality...it is a very high spiritual blessing. Stay away from fixed attachments that lead to FEAR... But make LOVE your highest MAXIM... I love how couchsurfing brings like minded people together. I have met some of the best people on this site...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've had A FEW good experiences with this site and I've made some good friends.

Interests

Anything that shines,smiles and loves. For I live the way of love... Art is what gives my soul life... currently I'm writing a new play and a movie about my life for Hollywood. I have designed many things that I hope will bear fruit in the next few years including a solar electric car called the Scarabus - I'm a committed jesus freak and peace maker... and nature lover....and world changemaker... and I believe i have done just about 75% of everything I have put my mind to... still- I'm looking forward to the remaining 25%!- wine matures with age!

Teach, Learn, Share

People who love life...light and laughter. I am currently starting a glamping business in Portugal and would like to hook up with like minded people. I also write books all the time and try to work for real change in our world. This is what Im involved with in Switzerland. We've just created a internet radio station and an online newspaper. Im looking forward to 2017 and the years to come because most of all- I want to share my wisdom with others and learn from them too.
