I'm 37, but married with two kids of 4 and 10 years. We started early..
We live in Hanoi, Vietnam, where I work for Vietnam's Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development as a policy advisor for forest financing, in a position funded by the German Development Ministry. My wife Jen works as a mental health professional.

I love meeting new people, especially people who live very different lives than I do, so if we meet, you can see for yourself.

Что привело меня на Couchsurfing

I find CS is an excellent initiative and I've been hosted a few times very generously.

Классная вещь, которую я сделал(-а)

My first real travels at age 21, brought me to war-torn Sri Lanka, where I got to live in an orphanage for 8 months and work as an English teacher - and carpenter. I will always be glad that I did that then, and I was very fortunate - as I've also been since, it seems..

Учу, учусь, делюсь опытом и информацией

I'm always happy to share stories and conversations and I am often intrigued to learn how other people live and work and play.

Чем я могу поделиться с хостами

As we have a relatively busy family life, I can only 'maybe host'. If it works, we can supply a bed in a guest room.
