About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Bring experiential learning through VR to anyone.

ABOUT ME

Roger is a fun loving, passionate, and colourful guy. Kind to a fault, generous, but overall a lover of life. He throws himself 110% into everything he does and will try anything (mostly legal) at least once.

PHILOSOPHY

Try not! Do or do not! There is no try!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I travelled as a member of Servas back in the days before the internet and Couch Surfing. Best travel time of my life. Now it's time to give back.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

One of the most amazing experiences was finding the single host in Antigua, and being able to stay for as long as it took to arrange accommodation there.

Also, I'll never forget BBQ in Memphis, Blueberry Pancakes in Salem, MA, or the farmstay in Upstate New York

More recently I have ridden a motorbike from Canada to Mexico down the west coast of the USA and surfed in Astoria, OR; Eureka, CA; and Scottsdale, CA.

Interests

Essentially if I can use it to solve a problem (technology), tell a story (photo, video, VR), make music & worship (trumpet, drums, guitar) or travel (motorbike, car, 4WD, hike, bike, camp, aeroplane) - I am passionately interested in it.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies pretty much Sci-Fi, Fantasy, Thriller, Adventure, and Comedy - Books largely the same, but also personal development, influence, and biographies.

Very eclectic music taste - from easy listening to hard rock
