Hi! I'm an Indian guy, born in the UAE, but moved back and forth between Goa and Abu Dhabi growing up. I moved to Guelph, Canada in 2002 to attend university. I've been in Canada ever since. I work for Johnson & Johnson in Guelph at McNeil Consumer Healthcare. I'm married and have 3 kids.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like the idea because it's an affordable way to travel and I get to meet interesting people.

Interests

• desserts
• scotch tasting

• food
• family
• beers
• beer brewing

Music, Movies, and Books

I like Pop music and Techno beats. It's the music of the people! I also like Frank Sinatra, Engelbert Humperdinck, Paul Anka, Lionel Ritchie.

I don't see the point of going to the movie theatre if it isn't a action or sci-fi film with lots of effects.

I like to read instruction manuals and to learn how things work. I don't get a lot of time to read b/c I commute a long ways. So I listen to audio books and podcasts a lot.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When my 2nd daughter was born, I was the one who caught her.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a very helpful person. If a friend needs me, I help. I like to tinker with things, so I'm good at fixing broken stuff. In the past, I've volunteered at an organization that promotes adult literacy. My father-in-law taught me how to bbq and now I'm a master!

I like learning about physics theories, math and astronomy.

I like to share witty puns, beer / whisky / desserts with fellow connoisseurs, unique restaurants and home cooked food with lots of flavour

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can cook / bbq like a pro. I can help out around the house, fix things, and I have First Aid / CPR training.
