Description

(English Below)
Me encantan el aire libre, el océano, la tierra, y la costa donde se encuentran, y las historias de la gente. Me importan la sostenibilidad y la estética.

¡Hola! ¿Cómo estás? Soy un voluntario por la vida. Ahora estoy en un año sabático, y quiero surfear regularmente. Aprendí español en los dos años pasados, y quiero mejorar mi español viajando en latino america (odio el inglés). Me gusta el campo, y vivir lentamente y profundamente, conectado con los elementos naturales. Espiritualidad por dentro, y Sostenibilidad por fuera me interesan — y por lo tanto, yoga, meditación, agrícola, y educación consciente.

Respecto a mi pasada, estuve en India por cinco años haciendo voluntariado (en el ashramo más grande del mundo), como escritor y como un trabajador en la granja, cocina, comedor, y apoyo diurno. Vivía en dormitorios, durmiendo en el piso, comiendo solo dos veces por día, etc. Antes de ir a la India, viví en EEUU durante diez años haciendo PhD en California, en donde surfeaba en Santa Cruz. Ahora mismo, vivo en Inglaterra. El año pasado, viajé por toda la India y Nepal en mi moto por cuatros meses.

I love the outdoors, the ocean, the earth, and the place where they meet. The stories of people enchant me. Sustainability and aesthetic matter to me.

Hello, I am a volunteer taking a gap year to surf regularly and explore Latin America. I taught myself Spanish and can speak well. I am looking to bring myself to native speaker level. I love remote places, where you can live slow and deep, connected to the elements. I practice yoga, meditation and am drawn to natural farming and conscious education.

Have been India for the past five years volunteering full-time at an ashram — as a writer, farmer, in the kitchen and dining, and general day-to-day support. I am used to living in dormitories, sleeping on the floor and eating only two meals a day. (It is the biggest ashram in the world and the routine was 24x7 rigorous.) Before that I was getting my PhD in California, where I was surfing at Santa Cruz. Right now I am based out of England.

I have also traveled all over India on motorcycle for four months. I love surfing, cooking, hiking, walking, traveling, etc. I like to listen to people's stories and connect with them.
