About Me

CURRENT MISSION : love louder, adventure daily and live with ever greater levels of expression.

I make music. You can listen here: http://robindarlington.com/

I also freelance online building websites and offering communication services and crowdfunding campaigns.

ABOUT ME

I am consider myself open minded and creative. Most of the time I'm optimistic about most things. I love the try new things, go new places, and learn from it all.

My number one passion is music. I play guitar, I sing, I write songs, I am also learning how to play keyboards, bass and drums, and the ins and outs of recording/mixing/producing.

Boredom is a word that means nothing to me, I always feel like doing something (that can involve resting/sleeping too) and I am always able to enjoy it.

As a surfer of couches I am pretty low maintenance !! I come with my own towel, a sleeping bag, my own soap, tooth paste etc. (basically I won't be asking you for stuff all of the time - or worse using it without asking!!).

I know how to be respectful of other people and their belongings and living spaces.

As a host, I can occasionally welcome travelers to my parent's farm in the south of France: when I'm there. Included in your stay: fresh organic fruit and vegetables from the garden + orchards.

PHILOSOPHY

I feel like life offers so many possibilities, and that we are free to choose whatever we want from them.

So let's choose a pleasant journey, let's do things the most interesting way and keep it exciting and fun!

Simple is beautiful.

Life is too short to make concessions and settle for less than what your heart desires.

I am committed to being the creator of by own experiences. I take full responsibility for my emotional well being.

I love life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am always willing to get involved with what's going on and lend a helping hand where it's needed.

At the moment I don't have a home of my own, but the day I do I will definitely get a comfy couch and I'll be hosting you more frequently.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I "unofficially" couch surfed (not through this website) all summer in Toulouse while I was working and saving up to go travelling to California in late 2011 and 2012. My friends where happy to host me seen as in exchanged I took care of cooking, doing the dishes and cleaning their small apartment for the time I was there.

Then I went to California, The Dominican Republic, Haiti back to California... and was couchsurfing on and off for 7 months. Amazing - life changing - times!

I love to get involved, if you need help with stuff during my stay, I will more than happily do what I can for you! If you don't want me to get involved, I also know how to be repectful and stay out of people's way.

My parents are farmers and they have been woof and helpx hosts for 4 years now, so I have participated in similar situations through this.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Every step of the way is amazing - at some stages it's easier to see than at others though. What makes life amazing to me is the depth and complexity of each and every experience, be it positive or not.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach guitar, I can give tips on vocal technique and singing, I can teach web design and development, and give tips on Internet marketing, I can teach you how to speak English, and French and how to do the 5 Tibetan rites for eternal youth and vitality. I can speak to you for ever about personal development if that is something you are interested in. If you just want to have a good laugh I enjoy that just as much!

Things I am learning and would like to learn include : playing piano / keyboards, playing bass, playing drums, How to Speak Spanish, how to dance, cooking tricks and anything that involves being silly and having a lot of fun.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Couch, or even bed - when accepting requests that is.
Fresh organic fruit + veg from the garden.
Walks on the farm

Crowdfunding advice / coaching
