ABOUT ME

My wife and I have spent many happy years traveling together and have loved meeting new people along the way. Now we don't travel as much, we love to have people come and stay with us and show them the kindness we have experienced through many years of Couchsurfing. I am a Web and Community Blog Manager. A Norwich City season ticket holder. Am Buddhist, Baha'i and Bengali all by association...

Say, "Yes" More.

Interests

I love talking, music and especially eating. I have a season ticket to watch Norwich City and got an excellent 60+ not out a few seasons back in my return to village cricket. I really like Dr Who. There are always at least 5 bottles of vodka in my freezer at any one time. The more mischief I can find, the better...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Showered a baby monkey, washed an elephant with a coconut shell, bottle fed a 3 month old baby tiger, set 100s of tiny turtles free at midnight, had a bbq on a balcony with cigars and red wine in about -5 weather conditions and was the "rope" in a game of tug-of-war with my wife and a Thai bar girl.
