CURRENT MISSION

To make a significant contribution to Africa

ABOUT ME

I am passionate about making a difference. More, much more, than making money. I am passionate about Africa.

I have a 10-yr old son, who is my world. I travel a fair amount, typically between the USA and Africa - trying to swing by a different part of Europe every time.

***Wait, stop press! I just moved back to Kenya after way too many years away most recently in Connecticut USA ***

PHILOSOPHY

I believe in karma, I believe that most people are good, so I tend to trust until I have reason to not trust.

Money comes and goes, and we should not fret too much about it.

I am liberal almost to the extent of being libertarian. People have different views, morals etc. As long as nobody is getting hurt, it's all good.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I will happily host anyone who is interested in visiting my parts of the world.
>>> OLD >>> Right now I am in Connecticut (45 minutes from NYC) but soon I'll just a likely be in South Africa, Botswana or Kenya.

>>> NEW >>> I now live in Nairobi, Kenya.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

As a guest: Ad hoc couchsurfing -- friends' couches.

I think this is a great idea, expect many more stories in the near future.

As a host: Interesting experience, not so pleasant, where a guest just stayed and stayed and ...

Interests

Thinking about the impact that communications technology is going to have on the world. (Positive, of course, but also negative.)

Trying to understand people. Incentives, motivation etc. Especially in a business setting.
