I am friendly and jovial, like visiting new places, learning local languages, meeting new people, et al. I am a big believer in vibes, am honest and polite. Would like to mingle with like minded people from around the world and learn about their traditions and customs

PHILOSOPHY

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Awesome!! Started with a little bit of hesitation but my experiences this far has been just wonderful. have met some really cool people, surfed with them, travelled with them...and enjoyed myself thoroughly. My first few CS frens Laxmikant (India), Zuzanna (Poland), Tanya (Russia), Elavisa and Ocsar (Kenya) and Boni (Ivory Coast) were simply the coolest and Im in regular touch with them now. Haven't surfed lately but intend to be more regular henceforth.

Music, Movies, and Books

Fav Movies:
The Greatest Game Ever Played, Titanic, P.S. I Love You,The King's Speech, Major Payne, Anand, Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara, 3 Idiots, Munnabhai, 1920 - there are so many...so basically I like all kinda movies from action to thrillers, to horror, to romance, to comedy.

Again when it comes to books, I like to read Sidney, books by enid blyton, harry potter series..i love kids fairy tales. Hey and have loved the Godfather series by Mario Puzo. My all time favourite remain "The Hot Zone" by Richard Preston. I dont know how many sleepless nights I had after reading this. Have read a few books by Robin Cook also and liked them. Recent read - Missing Varrun by Amar Agarwala - very emotional and heart touching.

Music - I dont understand angrezi songs much and cant differentiate between jazz, hip hop, metal, etc. Though I enjoy songs by Akon, Enrique, Boyzone, BSB, etc. Among Indian singers my favorites are A R Rahman, Sonu Nigam, Shreya Ghoshal, Mohit Chauhan, etc. Have begun to develop a taste for Sufi music too after "maula mere maula" and "kun faya"

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Roller coaster!!!

Teach, Learn, Share

Fortunately my work has taken me to a lot of cities in India. I could give you helpful tips on everything if you are visiting India for the first time - hotels, places to see, local customs, best way to travel, etc. I consider myself an expert on Rajasthan - the princely state of India.

In exchange I would like to learn about your culture, traditions, and about you as a person!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share a private room with attached toilet, clean sheets, pillows, WiFi, fan and bathroom toiletries. My wife's a great cook and who knows she might whip up something deliciously Indian for you
