I'm sorry but I am not able to confirm hosting more than about 1 week in advance, this is due to frequent last minute travel with work. I am very happy to accept last minute requests if I possibly can.

I'm a British Expat living on the edge of Brasov in Romania. I work for a company in the UK (remotely from home) and run a small offroad tour company. The company also offers other support services like mountain rescue coordination for walkers. Not sure if I can put a link here but if you google "offroad tours in Transylvania" you will soon find me "transylvaniaoffroad dot com"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I started couch surfing when I had a large house with extra rooms and it seemed a waste.. I've moved twice since then and made it a priority to have couch surfing space because I really enjoy meeting new people and having them stay.

Interests

I am a telecommunications specialist and spend a lot of time playing around with radios, phones, trackers and IT stuff.

When not doing that I enjoy exploring the mountains in one of my Landrovers doing what most people consider to be extreme off roading.

In addition, I provide emergency medical assistance for remote areas (bit like mountain rescue) and attend many public events such as Town Fairs, motorsport rallys and other public gatherings.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like a wide range of music but generally dont like folk, country and here in Romania, Manelle. Anything with a nice tune, beat and or rhythm is generally "music to my ears"

I generally only read non-fiction such as "A Universe from Nothing" by Lawrence Krause and Richard Dawkins or "A Briefer History of Time" by Stephen Hawking.

I enjoy all kinds of movies, Comedy, Romance, Drama, Action, War etc.. Not too keen on Horror with supernatural and certainly don't like movies like SAW.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Navigated though a potential mine field to deliver water to a security team that has to stay and wait for the Fuel Tanker they were escorting to finish burning before they could go back to base.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would be happy to pass on my knowledge of science and the universe, quantum physics, relativity and would be more than happy to meet someone with a greater knowledge to learn more from.

In every day stuff, I can teach you how drive offroad, use a paper map and compass, use a digital map and GPS, anything related to communicating with radio and satellite.

In addition, if you are interested in the mechanical side of Landrovers, I can take you though the basics and show you how to keep it going if you have a problem in the middle of nowhere.
