About Me

My wife Katie and I are travelling from India to Scotland overland on our motorbikes.

Really love meeting people and seeing different ways of living. Im particularly interested in food!

I'm excited about architecture. If I hadn't been a political science man, I would have probably been an architect!

I'm very very happy to eat well and love cooking!

PHILOSOPHY

My 'philosophy' really is to make the most of it, and I think CouchSurfing is key to that. It’s a wonderful way to meet people in a more ‘real’ way than what is otherwise possible. It’s great that people from all over the world can just cross paths like that!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

For now I can't host, as I'm travelling.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've CouchSurfed in many many places by now. Some of the places, unfortunately, I don't have references, because I went with my partner, Katie. She snatched them all, she did..

But! I've CouchSurfed in:
- Glasgow
- Sevilla!
- Rio de Janeiro!
- Buenos Aires!
- Cordoba, Argentina!
- Lima, Peru!
- Ottawa, Canada!
- Díli, Timor Leste!
- Lira, Uganda!
- Buffalo, USA!
- Lahore, Pakistan!

I have hosted in Aarhus, Denmark.

I have also connected with people thru CS in Poland, Lebanon, and the States!

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: "The Act of Killing" = killer..

Music: Hollywood Mon Armour, The miserable Rich, Boat man Love, Dave Matthews Band, The National, Balkan, Kraftwerk, Bruce, and plenty of other stuff...

Books: The Name of The Rose was the last thing I read which blew me away!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Surprised by whales in the middle of the night on the Outer Hebrides in Scotland. Paralysing!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'll happily contribute a political economy analysis of the notion of 'hygge' which has spread like nuts over the last couple of Scandi-fetischising years.

Countries I’ve Lived In

Belgium, Denmark, Timor-Leste (East Timor), United Kingdom, United States
