**** January-March 2020 on an African Odyssey in South Africa, Namibia, Botswana *****

CURRENT MISSION

Meeting conscious communities, especially eco-villages, off-grid communities, Frivolous Existentialism.

Been on couch surfing 10 years... most of my experiences are in person or through my intentional community page so this profile isn’t that great!

ABOUT ME

I'm a wanderer at heart, have lived on four continents and am neverendingly curious about other cultures.

I am a Co-Founder of an urban intentional community called The Lounge in Vancouver, Canada.

It’s amazing, given me a new perspective on sharing and extending myself. Meeting travellers in my current city of above keeps me in tune with the travel world!

PHILOSOPHY

Live & Let Live. Be your true self. Tell the Truth.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To continue personal expansion.

++ Due to the large number of requests, we only consider couch surfers who have hosted before and also requests within 2 weeks ahead of today, sorry we just can't plan that far ahead. Please add the word "sunshine" to the subject/heading of your request so I know you've read my profile ++

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

For me amazing = what I love + what's a challenge for me.

I've driven from Vancouver Island, through America and Mexico to Belize - I hope to repeat this expedition one day!
Backpacked through Mexico, Belize and Guatemala three times I loved it so much, then scaled an active volcano in the magical city of Antigua.

Lived in Europe for almost 5 years.

Attended and tweeted the London 2012 Olympics...

Did the polar bear swim - jumping into the ocean on January 1st - in Canada for the past 5 years!
