I am a passionate guy who's been a teacher, an entrepreneur and currently a research analyst of the financial markets. I also am passionate about Salsa, Bachata & Kizomba dancing that I am learning over 5 years now. I also love trekking, having completed over half a dozen treks. Now I look forward to expand my horizon and travel to a lot more places.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To understand the local culture, enrich my travelling experience, immerse myself into the flavours of the places I visit and create long-lasting bonds with the people around.

Interests

To begin with, I love social dancing. It's the serendipity of the form that's so fascinating; no choreography, just feel the music and lead your partner.
I also love playing poker and chess as it involves a lot of strategy , trying to read your opponents and then making your move.
Traveling and trekking is also something on my to-do list as no two places or experiences can ever be compared and each trip opens up new horizons.
And finally, financial market analysis is what I do at my job but then not out of necessity but own choice because every company or sector opens up a different business perspective. As Steve Jobs said - Love what you do or do what you love!
All of my interests are related to novelty and serendipity. No two dance, stock, trip or game can ever be same. And this is what I look forward to everyday - new experiences.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Well, I had my own food outlet while completing my graduation and handling a coaching academy. It was exhausting, being busy from early morning to late night, but fun and satisfaction of having something of my own can't be compared.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have my own free weekly newsletter in which I share links of articles related to Finance, Marketing, Operations, Strategy, Technology, Business Management, Entrepreneurship, Networking, Work-Life Balance, etc. Within a period of a year, I have reach 200 subscribers and looking to grow it exponentially. Do let me know if you want to receive weekly dose of free articles on the above topics.

What I Can Share with Hosts

To begin with, minimum hassle of hosting me. Also, we can discuss over a wide range of topics since I voraciously read anything I came across, maybe some financial advice, definitely Latin social dancing and most importantly, open to any new experiences.
