CURRENT MISSION

I've spent much of the past 5 years moving about the world for work and travel, and now I'm finally back home to work on a few projects before setting out on the next great exotic adventure.

ABOUT ME

Um well I like to play, share stories, laugh, relax, learn, chat, and very very occasionally dance.

Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind. - Dr Seuss

PHILOSOPHY

Try a little harder not to be cancer for the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've surfed with a number of people through the app in a variety of places, and its been great. But now that I am in my own home, I'm here to return the favour to the universe by hosting travellers passing through or just showing them around the city.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Well, I was in Mumbai in India a few summers ago, and I wound up making plans to goto Goa for nye with a friend of a friend who I hadn't met before. Met her for the first time on the bus to Goa, along with an American who had just arrived and was couchsurfing at her place. She was a fun host, and he was a fun surfer - we had a blast. So when I got home I figured at some point I too would give it a go.

Update: I've since surfed with a number of other gracious hosts, and hosted a couple of guys some time back who turned out to be a lot of fun
