About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Returning the favor as I've couchsurfed in Brazil for two months and have been been hosting people ever since (been almost 6 years now :).

ABOUT ME

I am a geek. I am a programmer at heart and a traveller by nature. I love people who love life. And if you are a person who feels that the world is yours, and you should see every bit of it, then talk to me!

Love unconditionally.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'd love to get to know each and everyone of you. I have an extra space that can accommodate two people, but I am more than happy to take visiting surfers around this beautiful country.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Met a surfer in Ha Noi, Vietnam. We were supposed to meet up for a day and we ended up traveling for a week!

Interests

I love anything tech. I have libertarian views. I cook, I travel, and I always try and see things in more ways than one. I share a deep interest in the betterment of the world. I grew up on rock but love fast music. I'm quite active on the internet. Am online all the time.

  • electronic music
  • computer science
  • programming
  • psychedelics
  • web development
  • psytrance

Music, Movies, and Books

I love movies (anything from Akira Kurosawa to Michael Mann). Roald Dahl is the greatest writer of all time, and I've read the Lord of the Rings from cover to cover (including the appendices which are the best parts!!).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Visited the past two countries that hosted the world cup during competition. Will visit the next.

Teach, Learn, Share

English is my first language and I like teaching people. I also teach little kids from time to time (volunteer work) so I have a lot of patience with them :)

When youre travelling, just take a small first aid kit. Costs 5-8 dollars in a pharmacy and its better to have one than not!

Street food is sometimes healthier than restaurant food.

Talk to me for an endless list of my self made hypothesis. I apologize in advance :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Just a room in my apartment. I live with my wife in Sandyford, Dublin. There's a bus that takes you to other parts of Dublin (no 114).

Countries I’ve Visited

Australia, Brazil, Cambodia, China, Indonesia, Myanmar, Nepal, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, United Kingdom, United States, Viet Nam

Countries I’ve Lived In

India, Ireland, Malaysia, United Kingdom
