CURRENT MISSION

Forget the armchair philosophy and experience existence!

ABOUT ME

being. being a paradox. being barefoot. finding creative words to describe the world and human existence. traveling. discussing nothingness and everythingness. the here and now. deep breathing and stretching. rolling around on skateboards and bicycles. driving vehicles. floating in space. climbing trees buildings scaffoldings rocks. reading. writing. drawing. painting. photo capture and developing. love cinema not television. influencing others and being influenced through words and no words. time alone. silence. time with people. loudness. food creations. eating. exploring all the senses and ignoring them at other times.

i study politics but im not concerned with politics. i study philosophy but im not concerned with their arguments. love to discuss both, on your couch the bar over coffee or in a tree

PHILOSOPHY

Push myself, and always do my best. Expand myself until i reach infinity. If I am not facing fear I am living in complacency and am no longer living! Vulnerability is where it's at! Live outside my boundaries, give up order for chaos and control for mystery.
Of course its all about balance, and I have become rather domesticated. Living in satisfaction without being seduced by the comforts is the challenge!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

surfing currently, when i return and have a couch of my own again you are more than welcome to sink into its cushions.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I surfed many couches on an extended trip to Europe in 2009. I also used to surf at home to save money and live less comfortably/more connected.

Its a fantastic experience, I enjoy leaving myself open to the people I stay with to let part of them become part of me and the same in return.

Music, Movies, and Books

Cormac McCarthy, RamDas, Alan Watts, Leary, Karouac, Sartre, Osho, Eckhart Tolle

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was caught in the middle of the Grand Canyon in a snowstorm in jeans and a hoodie and a psychedelic mind! Talk about being alive!

Teach, Learn, Share

I offer practical lessons and discourse on photography, videography, mystical philosophy, meditation, Primary Series of Ashtanga Yoga, baking cookies, slacklining, making ghee, sour kraut, kimchi, kombucha, raw chocolate, ghee, ice cream, and other naughty diviness.
I would like to learn: How to make ghee in the traditional method (I hear its fermented!). I want to learn how to still my mind at will. I want to learn some of the more technical tools of photography and videography and expand my ability at photoshop and Premiere.
