About Me

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)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

New at this so hope to host some travelers soon.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None as yet, just good stories from Maps and Katrina, Adam and Julie, John and Josie

Interests

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, Movies, and Books

Last few books I've read "Vernon God Little" "Waiting for the Barbarians" "Khan" series by Iggulden, "The White Tiger" "The Book Thief"

Last few movies - "Winter's Bone" "How to Train Your Dragon" "13 Assassins"

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

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

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.

Teach, Learn, Share

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.
