A British expat currently working in Dubai, who love travelling and enjoy exploring different cuisines and cultures around the world.

I have worked and lived in different regions and hence I have developed a taste for travelling.

In addition to living in different cities/countries I have also explored over 40 countries so far and my aim is to make it 100 before I hit 50 :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To explore the world and meet some interesting people. I am always eager to know about how people view this world... As at times I am busy with business travel so it is really hard to meet new people, I think CS is a great tool for meeting new people and finding out about their experiences.

Interests

Travelling around the world including North & South Poles
Food, big on Chinese (Sichuan to be precise) but anything interesting
Hiking, Diving (only started recently in Turkey but loving it)
Cinema (I hold unlimited cine-world card) I assume you can guess it now
Cooking, I am one of those guys who enjoy cooking ...
Shopping, it doesn't matter whether I am buying something for myself or not :)
