About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To embrace travel as a family; things have been too quiet since arrival of kids!

ABOUT ME

Laid back, cyclist, father of two.

PHILOSOPHY

Keep things simple and enjoyable. I will not let the following quote be true of my life :)

"If life is a journey, then life's greatest tragedy is not being able to enjoy the ride"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

A bit of a newbie. I am just getting started. Love the concept. It will be a bit before I can host, our kids are still very young but we look forward to broadening their horizon by having them interact with visitors from all over. Would also like to share our local knowledge with visitors seeking to avoid tourist traps.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Just the one so far, which was great - Las Vegas, Nevada. Looking forward to expanding the experience section soon.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like popular rock, r&b and dance music. Also World music (Putumayo!), New Age and Soundtracks. I do not read a lot of books although I used to. I watch movies selectively. I like Star Wars, Matrix, The Last Samurai, all Warren Miller movies, Intolerable Cruelty, My Neighbor Totoro, Finding Nemo.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

10 day camping/road trip across the Western US covering all states and many major National Parks! A lot of fun, would love to have another go.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am quite involved with the local bicycling community. Can share information about good bike shops, events, bike paths and the like.
I hope to travel with my bike soon, I would like to get similar info about the places I visit.

Countries I’ve Visited

Australia, Austria, Canada, France, Germany, Malaysia, Netherlands, Singapore, Switzerland, United Kingdom
