ABOUT ME

Call me Khevron (KEV-rin)
Nice guy. A bit quiet until he's comfortable. Leaves things better than found.
Traveling with my wonderful wife Lareena (who I met on the internet in 1999). We're both 55 (2018), and have been together since 2004, and married since 2006
Just working and playing.
Lareena speaks fluent Mandarin - spent 2 years in Taiwan.
We're easy-going folk, and very flexible.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Loved walking on the Giant's Causeway in Northern Ireland, and visiting castles in Scotland and England. Driving on the left in Australia was fun.
Did a 36 State tour of the USA in 1989, hitting most National Parks and Major Cities in 49 days - 14,000 miles.
2012-13 North American trip - 49 states and 10 Provinces in 8.5 months and 40,000 miles!

What I Can Share with Hosts

We can demonstrate Virtual Reality! We have a Notebook computer and Headset with us on our trip.
We're taking 360 Video and photographs wherever we go so people can eventually, when the media is processed, also experience where we've been.
My wife developed a demo VR Game to show what someone can do with programming VR with free components and learning to program on-line!
