Independent filmmaker. I like travelling and cooking occasionally. Love house parties, adventure and movies

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Its different than other ways of socialising. Its pretty spontaneous and you dont have to be pretentious. Best way to meet strangers and get along with them in the most random way possible.

Staying and sharing is the best trust level you can have for someone. If cant stay atleast showing around or meeting up and sharing cultures is also another great way of connecting.

Since I'm a filmmaker I like to be around people and observe them. I take real life experiences and put them in my work. It helps me get to know people better.

I like deep psychological conversations as well. I believe there is no one way of living life and nothing in this world is wrong. Its all about perceptions and we all must keep exploring till we run out of options :D
