ABOUT ME

Used to be an avid traveller, visited 20+ countries on 3 continents, lived on three sides of two oceans, hitch-hiked not only from Land's End to John O'Groats but the length and breadth of Europe (and a fair chunk of Western Canada), too. Got grounded for the better half of a decade (two small kids) and just trying to regain international mobility.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

Relatively new to CS, but back in the Stone Age (pre-Internet) used to travel through similar organisations (e.g. Servas) and found it fun.

Please, take your time to read all sections of my profile before you send me a couch request. If you ask me for accommodation without reading my profile, I will likely decline your couch request. (And I'll know if you've done so because you'll give me a hint. If this sounds too vague or cryptic, just read on and you'll know what I mean.)

兴趣

Almost anything from cosmology to good food, from world music to a good conversation, from history to photography, from a good book to hiking, from data processing to the immortality of the soul, from travelling to a smile on my daughter's face.

音乐、电影和书籍

Herzog, Bergman, and 007.
Early music up to Bach (OK, Mozart); world music, Kaláka, Yeni Türkü, Bohém Ragtime Band.
Any printed text can command my interest. The older the better.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Got a single lift from Dover, England to Bratislava/Pressburg/Pozsony, Slovakia while hitch-hiking. (Well, it happened to me.)
