COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
1. Hosted Echo Wang from China from 12th to 17th October, 2015

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Unlike most people here...I have NOT been there, done that. But now, I intend to go everywhere, do everything!
Couchsurfing gives me the chance to do that and more.

In India, we have a Sanskrit saying- "Athithi devo bhava", which means the guest is equivalent to God or be the one for whom the guest is God. This is the spirit of hospitality in India.
I strive to uphold this spirit and make my guests feel at home & treat them with utmost love and respect.

In our culture, we're grateful to people who give us an opportunity to do good Karma. This is a chance for me to do something good for someone & I will be grateful if you give me the opportunity to host you.

As is evident, I am an Indian from Mumbai- the commercial capital of India. I recently moved to Chicago to study and take an exam. I have seen some parts of the windy city & every day has been an overwhelming experience so far. Even though it can get really cold here, the city and it's people are so warm & welcoming that it will win you over.

While I am here, I will also explore other places:
New York: 21st to 5th November
Orlando: 10th to 12th November
Miami: 13th to 15th November
Orlando: 15th to 18th November
San Francisco: 10th to 12th December
Las Vegas: 12th to 14th December
Los Angeles: 14th to 16th December

So let me know if you want to get hosted, host me, hang out or just meet up for a cuppa!

Interests

I always look for new things to learn or do to keep myself busy.
These days I'm learning how to bake, eat healthy & juggle.
I like painting, designing & all sorts of crafts.
I am a hoarder of stationery, shoes & handbags(would love to add watches to that list...but I don't have as many to qualify).
I don't watch a lot of TV but when I do, I binge watch! Game of Thrones, Breaking bad, The Big Bang Theory & F.R.I.E.N.D.S have been my favourites so far...I don't mind watching it over and over.
New technology and tech gadgets always excite me. I wish I could afford everything out there!
In my spare time, I play PC & XBOX games . I have played many; but for me, nothing beats the classic- Mario, Roadrash & Age of empires. Games are the only addiction I've ever had.
I enjoy dancing and don't even need music or a reason to dance. You can catch me dancing pretty much all the time. It's my favourite kind of workout.
I am a lazy person & given a chance I'd probably stay in bed all day. But I started working out this year and it has been a life transforming experience. Consequently, not only have I lost a lot of weight but I have also developed a keen interest in fitness. I intend to do some fitness certifications soon. Any suggestions are welcome.
Nothing makes me happy like a good conversation does. So if you like talking too...chances are we're going to stay up all night discussing random things like karma, parallel universes, startups, spirituality, love, childhood, music, technology, stock markets, relationships...you name it!
I love eating & enjoy cooking. So if I host you, I'll insist you eat something from my kitchen. Sometimes the food doesn't taste quite like it should(consider yourself warned). But on the brighter side, no one's ever died from my cooking! I have a good track record there ;)
Oh and I would love try some of your dishes too. We could even cook together.

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy all kinds of music. However, the songs that stick with me are the ones with meaningful lyrics or with something I can relate to.

BOOKS
I don't read a lot but when I do, I like reading Non Fiction.

MOVIES
I love watching horror & thriller movies.
