CURRENT MISSION

saving the world by bicycle!! well, trying to make some change...

ABOUT ME

I'm passionate about trying to do my bit to change the world, because it's getting urgent!! I've got my organisation, cyclingforcohesion.com, and I'm riding a bike from Mexico to Argentina to try to achieve my social goals. I think life is amazing and we should use the opportunities we have to try to preserve what's good, and not to forget to enjoy it at the same time.

PHILOSOPHY

"we have exactly enough time, starting now" - meaning that if you want something to change (and i've got a bit to chose from), act now! who knows what the world will be like in ten years and what opportunities you'll have then?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Music, Movies, and Books

Music to dance, love, live life to. I have a thing about commercial muusic, it's my pet hate. Michael Franti, Arcade Fire, The Cat Empire, xavier Rudd, Plump DJs and breaks in general, Thievery corporation, Ozomatli, Jamie liddel, dreadzone...
Books - 'hot, flat and crowded' 'The end of Charity: a time for social enterprise' and books by buddist teachers have all recently inspired me.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

i guess I'm in the process right now, riding a bike through central and south america. Hiking volcan santa Maria, guatemala, under full moon to watch sunrise on one of the most incredible and beautiful views I have ever seen was pretty damn cool!!
