Been travelling the world since I was 18...lived in and visited maybe 80 countries and territories on 6 continents ( I tried to list as many as I could find )...currently based in Kathmandu but travelling most of the year so hosting is a bit of hit and miss, but maybe one day...have a 15 year old daughter growing up in India...done a lot of motorcycling in South Asia covering now 130,000 klms...love new places and new people

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because after decades of hotels, B&B's, guest houses, temples, ashrams, camping sites and hostels, it was suggested to me to try Couch Surfing; something new sounds good to me!
