About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Life is like riding a bicycle, To keep your balance, you must keep moving. - Albert Einstein

ABOUT ME

Hello, Salut, Merhaba, As-salamu alaykum, Hola, Ciao, shalom, Nameste, guten tag, Ni Hao

Amazed by what we have achieved,
Shocked by what we have and continue to destroy,
A physical and mental wanderer,
A fighting optimist trying to enjoy the ride.

PHILOSOPHY

Not all who wander are lost.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

At the moment I have mainly been Surfing and meeting up with other CS'ers as Im on the road, However when I stop for long enough I will definitely be hosting.

I try to tell anyone about Couch surfing who I think will appreciate it and enjoy it.

I created the FREE CAMBRIDGE group as a place for people to find free food, parking, events and all kinds of stuff in and around Cambridge.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have an interest in learning about sustainability, permaculture, geothermal energy and basically anything to do with living off the land, being as resourceful as possible and not WASTING. If you can teach me anything then please do.

Quotes:

it's not where you go. It's how you feel for a moment in your life when you're a part of something. And if you find that moment... It lasts forever.

When was the last time you did something for the first time?

Years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. Explore. Dream. Discover. - Mark Twain
