CURRENT MISSION

To finish all my money in traveling around Europe, and eventually find a place to settle down.

ABOUT ME

I've not had time to think of what to write here. Here's a brief summary. This will be updated sometime soon.

I'm an academic and I love traveling. Unfortunately, I found out about this site a little late. Anyway I guess its still not too late :)

Its not possible to list in "my travels" all the places I've been, so here's the complete list unabridged.. I hope I remembered every country I've been to. There's a possibility that I missed a couple ;-)

Countries (cities) I have lived in/visited*: India (too many cities to list/remember); Hong Kong; Vietnam (Saigon); Korea (Pusan); Thailand (Pattaya, Bangkok, Laemchebang); Germany (Frankfurt, Bruchsal, Karlsruhe, Mannheim, Cologne, Duisberg, Dussedorf, Hannover, Passau); Norway (Oslo, Bergin, Ardelstangen, Trondheim); Netherlands (Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Zaandam, Leiden); Turkey (Aliaga/Izmir - Nemrut Bay); Gibralter; Puerto Rico; USA (New-Orleans, Houston), Peru (Lima/Alao, Matarani); Chile (Antofagasta); Brazil (Aratu/Salvador, Rio de Janeiro); Argentina (Rosario/San Lorenzo); South Aftica (Durban); Malaysia (Kuala Lumpur); Indonesia (Johar Baru); Sri-Lanka (Colombo); Australia (Melbourne, Sydney, Perth, Adelaide, Canberra); China (Chendgu); Italy (Bertinoro, Trento, Milano, Venezia, Torino, Bolzano, Berghamo); Spain (Barcelona); Czech Republic (Brno, Prague, Kutná Hora); Austria (Vienna, Villach); UK (London, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Manchester); France (Paris); Belgium (Brussels, Leuven).

* The criteria is that I should have been out of the airport/train station/seaport.

Countries I almost visited**: Bangladesh, Singapore, Finland, Egypt, Luxembourg, Switzerland, Panama.

** I was at an airport/train station/seaport but could not go out.

(does this list seem a bit big?? well its because I was a sailor in my past life)

PHILOSOPHY

It's no use crying over spilt milk

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've generally lived at hotels or at friends. Didn't do much couchsurfing till now.. but I'm looking forward to it.

Interests

I like computers, programming, math (some of it), music, wasting time on the Internet.

I also like Hollywood movies. My favorite genre is comedy and science fiction.

Oh, and yes I love to travel, be it for work or holiday.
