CURRENT MISSION

British guy wandering around Spain.

ABOUT ME

I am an energetic and friendly person. I have had a deep interest in Buddhism, yoga, and meditation since travelling in India. I am veggie and like good food, travel, and learning from what life throws at me..

Recently, I have just finished up working in Saudi Arabia. As an English teacher, I tend to move around quite a lot, and I will be spending some time in Barcelona this year.

PHILOSOPHY

To go with the flow of life, and to learn from it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

To be available as and when if possible. *Please note that I usually need 1-2 weeks' notice in order to host.*

I realise that surfers who have similar interests and rhythms to me usually work best when I am hosting. I like walking around the city in the late afternoon/evening. I like to go out to eat in the evenings (not every evening). If you are ready to go out salsa dancing that is also a bonus (not essential) as sometimes I come back late.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Very positive so far.

Interests

Eastern thought: Buddhism, Indian religion, art, philosophy, and alternative therapy i.e. Ayurveda. Writing: I research and write articles on religion, spirituality and learning English. Vegetarian lifestyle: into organic food and healthy eating. Dance: salsa - a lifestyle in itself.
