UPDATE: I am looking for people who can stay for several weeks or even months, starting in early June --- I was born in England, but lived in the US from the age of 1 until I was 18, at which point I returned to England. I studied Moral Sciences (philosophy and psychology) at Cambridge, but spent more time in drama productions than studying. I subsequently went to London, and lived for several years in a freaky apartment with such psychedelic people as Syd Barrett of the Pink Floyd (https://chriscase.blogspot.com/2014/12/syd-barrett-and-101-cromwell-road.html), while working in a couple of avantgarde art galleries. As the 60s drew to a close,I went to India to meet some yoga masters, which worked out very well. I then came to Japan, where for several years I lived on the road with a motorcycle, photographing around the country. I became a jewelry designer, then got into the collecting and restoring of antiques, doing quite a few gallery shows of Japanese traditional artefacts in...
