CURRENT MISSION

To be a good dad and husband

ABOUT ME

I like to laugh, meet new people and when time allows, give back a little of the generosity I received when I was on the road. I guess that's why I've joined CS. I have traveled to around 50 countries, started when I was 10 with my first solo trip to Rabaul, PNG. Still like to get out there when I can, and now that our son, Taj is 4 we hope to make it back to India this year, and hopefully get away to a new place or country every year.

PHILOSOPHY

Try to get thru life without having a bad year (so far so good)

兴趣

Starting to get up there now, but still pretty young at heart. Love the outdoors - mtb (we have a great trail that ends at our back door), camping, surfing (though we're a long way from the coast), wind surfing.
I like a glass of good wine, or a beer on a hot day. Mostly I love the different stages of a child's development, it's so cool just to kick back and watch your kid go for it (even join in when they let you).

Music - Zero 7, Oi Va Voi, Tom Waits...well, just about anything

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Most amazing thing I've seen - the birth of my son, Taj.

Most beautiful thing I've seen - my wife

Most interesting things I've done - Climbing Pisang Peak in Nepal (totally by chance), Scuba Diving on a sunken destroyer in Rabaul, PNG with my uncle's divers to watch them salvage the brass props when I was 10.

教，学，和分享

Always interested in what people have to say, you can learn a little (sometimes a lot) from everyone you meet, and hopefully I can add a little to what you already know. Can even give you a bit a mtb experience if anyone is keen, we have a great trail which finishes at our house. In winter there are some boarding and snowshoeing options.
