CURRENT MISSION

To be Happy and make everyone happy around!!

ABOUT ME

I'm friendly, artistic, chirpy, and easy-going. I work as a Senior Consultant in a Big4 company in London, UK. As they say "Strangers are friends whom you haven't met yet", so I like to meet and greet new faces, know them, hangout with them and eventually infect them with an awesome virus called "Friendship". So be ready to get infected!!

While reading few articles about travelling I came to know about this concept of couchsurfing and I found it quite interesting, hence I decided to join it.

PHILOSOPHY

It's always better to try and do something rather than sitting back and thinking if I should have atleast given a try. So, I don't want to have those ifs & maybes in my life and do what I want to achieve in spite of failures or success. I want to live my life to the fullest possible.

Someone aptly quoted and I believe it too that
"The human spirit was meant to fly into the horizon. Meant to see sunrises from different latitudes and longitudes. It's the natural curiosity in us. We’re all birds at heart."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Currently, I join some of the weekly CS events organised by the locals here. I'm looking forward to host, surf and find travel buddy whenever it's possible. If you're coming to visit Singapore, I would love to hangout and show you around.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Till now I haven't got a chance to host or surf. But I have met some amazing fellow couchsurfers at a local event. It was good to know them and their travelling experiences.

Interests

I have keen interests in all kinds of artistic things. I like to sketch, draw and paint to create something good. I have been scribbling and sketching since my childhood and I love it. I'm addicted to playing with colors. Whenever, I have some free time, I try to learn and create some art on Photoshop and Illustrator. I believe they are impressive tools for an artistic. You may have a look at some of my artwork @ https://www.behance.net/abhishake_chandra.

I love cooking, listening music, playing awesome games on my Xbox, playing badminton & table tennis (I play outdoor games too :P), going out with my friends on weekend & party hard (as my weekdays are so boring). These days I have started to like travelling to new places. It's such a good way to relax and re-energize.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: I like comedy, romantic, action and Sci-Fi types of movies. Movies I liked the most are 3 Idiots, Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara, X-Men: First Class, Inception, Titanic.

Music: My taste of music depends on my mood. Some of my favorites belong to Linkin Park, David Guetta, Rihanna, Adele, Enrique and Imagine Dragons.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of the most amazing thing, I have done is to swim with huge whale sharks in Oslob, Cebu Islands. I have never seen such a beautiful place, so clear water and amazing people before. Though I was a bit scared in the beginning yet it was an experience of lifetime.
