Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To see the WHOLE World - however long it may take
ABOUT ME
me and my wife both studied for 5 years each to earn our respective degrees, after which we put them to use for the next 3 years or so.
Amazing how quickly you get burnt out at your job when all you can think about is the big world trip you are planning! we eventually got the courage to throw in our jobs, sell all our stuff in a garage sale (and on ebay of course) and set out on the trip of our lifetime.
We are hoping to make it all the way around the world over the next 3 to 4 years, but who really knows how long it will really take. we started in May of 2008, and are still going strong!
PHILOSOPHY
Only those who leisurely approach that which the masses are busy about can be busy about that which the masses take leisurely.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
we have stayed with lovely hosts in kathmandu and hong kong. We have also hosted a number of people while living in South Korea. Now we look forward to continue hosting people in Dubai.
