I don't smoke, don't drink, don't eat meat; it's not all boring though, I am big on all kinds of adventure. Thrill-seeking is a big part of my travelling, but I enjoy meeting new people and striking up exciting conversations just as much.

I thoroughly enjoy meandering conversations and hearing quirky views people have on all sorts of issues.

Что привело меня на Couchsurfing

It offers a unique opportunity for deeply enriching and, more importantly, uniquely authentic interactions with people.

Интересы

I love all things in the same domain as adventure sports, motorcycle riding, hikes, and wildlife. I also watch a copious number of movies. (Ask me for recommendations!)

I like conversations; can't think of anything that I'd find too boring to talk about.

Классная вещь, которую я сделал(-а)

No one thing stands out - however, the tiny everyday adventures from taking small risks, esp while travelling, when clubbed together make for pretty amazing tales.
A trailer would have quick cuts between:
skydivers,
bungees,
canyon jumps,
dirt road riding on cliff-hugging roads,
eccentric conversations, &
lots of laughter.

Учу, учусь, делюсь опытом и информацией

I am always interested in fascinating trivia and have some of my own to share.

I want to learn about your cultures, countries and people, not just the good stuff but also the complex issues; in return, I can introduce you to mine.

For non-South-Asians: I can teach you Bollywood dance moves, yoga; how to play Cricket; and maybe even some tips on how to bargain in the sub-continent. I can also be helpful on how to ride motorbikes, or the fundamentals of lifting weights.

I can share my food, my collection of 4TB worth of movies, and my roof with you, along with my experiences as a traveller.

I also always have movie recommendations, just ask!

Чем я могу поделиться с хостами

I can share:
Engaging conversations;
My travel stories;
Some insights into my culture along with other ones I have experienced first-hand or read about;
My opinions on a host of topics, we can even swap some unpopular opinions.

I have diverse interests from movies, both Hollywood and Bollywood, to literature to adventure sports and wildlife. I enjoy discussions on all of them and on any other topics. My doors are always open for all the friends I've met along the way, & it's some of the best feelings to catch up years down the lane.

If you were to host me and we go out for a meal, please let that one be on me, it's the least I can do.

Also, I will be happy to help with the household chores, and I believe in cleaning up after myself.

Hosting is a pretty generous thing to do, & I am old enough to see it for the kind favour that it is, so, the host's convenience comes first, & any sensible guest works around it, not the other way around.
