About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Explore the world

ABOUT ME

Hi everyone,

I relocated to Dubai October 2012 after 5 great years in Singapore. I travel quite a lot in my job covering Middle East and Africa so it's hard to host as many couchsurfers as I want, but it's definitely worth the try!

Easy going guy who loves to travel and have been fortunate enough in life to do a lot of it.

PHILOSOPHY

To meet as many and as different people possible so I can get a bigger perspective of life. To be tolerant, respectful for other ways of life, cultures and religions, and be able to constantly change yourself in a positive direction to grow as a person. Was that too serious?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
