About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Get another job... somewhere else. So be quick if you want to come to Baku. Actually, maybe you can take your time. Starting to feel settled here.

Unhappily back in the UK since Jan 2016. Looking for another overseas position.

ABOUT ME

Always working... but starting to live.

PHILOSOPHY

I quite like the Hippocratic oath, "To do no harm" (or something like that)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Really not sure what this section means :-)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have hosted twice, both times for a 3rd party 'host' who discovered at the last minute that she couldn't host and called me. I just thought I'd find out a little bit more about this 'couchsurfing' stuff. I'm not looking to surf... I prefer Hyatt or Marriott :-)
Really enjoyed introducing people to Baku and Azerbaijan as an ex-pat resident.

Interests

Not working, exercise, good food and finding a new job :-)

  • dining
  • exercise
  • partying
  • traveling
  • geology

Music, Movies, and Books

All, any, broad taste... open-minded (or should that be "not bothered", "whatever floats your boat")

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Watched the sun rise and sun set over the Sahara desert

Teach, Learn, Share

I like the idea of this section, but doubt that many people will be interested in 'planning and cost control' if they are travelling to Azerbaijan.
Geology, Quantity Surveying, living and working in foreign countries, complete failure to master any language other than English. Enough?

What I Can Share with Hosts

A warm welcome, orientation, hospitality, friendship and respect

Countries I’ve Visited

Algeria, Austria, Azerbaijan, Belgium, Bulgaria, England, Finland, France, Georgia, Germany, Gibraltar, Hungary, Italy, Libya, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Scotland, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, United States, Wales

Countries I’ve Lived In
