About me

Just arrived in Bangkok again, used to live here, know a little of the city. I live in a spacious 40m2 studio in Lat Phrao, but with little furniture. So if you have camping mats, we could probably put 10 people in here, otherwise the couch might be ok for one person. Anyway, be welcome...

My work is on the internet, web site related stuff. Happy to talk tech if you like that sort of thing.

I spent 5 years on the road, I spent just over a year in my homeland, now I'm journeying again. Wow, it's a long time since I updated this box.

I'm very last minute, I like to keep options open because my word is my bond. If I make a commitment, it means something, I follow through, so I don't make too many commitments... :-)

Accommodation

Max number of guests:: 3
Maximum length of stay:: As long as is mutually agreeable, let's start with a couple of days and see how we go
I Live With:: I'm staying at my dad's place in a very, very small village, maybe 8 houses, and only 1 other person lives in the whole place. It's quiet... :-)
Please bring:: Yourself and a positive attitude
I can offer my guests:: There's plenty of space, and space in a camper.
Restrictions:: Please also consider the following restrictions:
Other restrictions:: I'd prefer if people didn't bring dairy products into my home. I try to avoid consuming dairy and so I find it easier not to have it in the house. If you do bring dairy for some reason, please be sure to take it with you when you leave.

The more time spend with him the more I like him. He made our trip to Brazil really fun..I wouldn't have survived the rain forest journey if it wasn't for his constant analytical philosophies about women and computers.. defiantly a great guy!
