PHILOSOPHY

I prefer to treat others as I would like to be treated, or better yet, as they would like to be treated. Everything else flows from that, I think.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

When traveling, I try to blend in with household needs and rhythms. I am generally an undemanding, low-impact guest.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None yet, unfortunately.I haven't couch surfed yet - my home is available at times, we've just posted it under my partner's profile - Karen Hery / Purpley House.

Interests

I am an amateur photographer, and enjoy reading, hiking, exploring new cities and a jog now and then.

Music, Movies, and Books

I tend towards Science Fiction in books, a fairly wide range of music - I can't really tie down specific genres. I usually won't know until I hear it if I like it, even within the same style, genre, or sometimes artist.

Movies? Usually action / comedy / adventure, with a special fondness for the absurd and whacky.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Skydiving was fairly amazing.

Teach, Learn, Share

Given it's my living, I can usually solve technical issues, whether it's a wireless router that isn't connecting or a malware-laden PC (though that may not be my idea of a fun vacation activity).

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can solve quick technical issues, wireless router configuration, etc.

Countries I’ve Visited

Canada, Costa Rica, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Hungary, Mexico, Morocco, Nicaragua, Romania, Spain, Switzerland, Thailand, Turkey
