About Me

Single male, travel a lot, do research/activism/writing on environment and development issues, exploring alternative worldviews that can challenge today's dominant economic and political paradigms, love photography and animals, enjoy board games and movies and novels and music of various kinds!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe the world needs to move more and more away from the domination of money, and more towards exchange and relationships based on trust. Couch surfing seems like a good initiative towards this.
