CURRENT MISSION

Travel the world, eat a lot of food, and meet crazy people

ABOUT ME

My name is Agasthya (pronounced uh-guh-stee-uh) and I love life. Specifically, traveling, eating, making music, getting crazy, hiking, dancing, being the funniest person you know, the movie Memento, reading, and climbing trees. And my girlfriend, I guess. And facebook. Definitely facebook.

I'm currently a former math teacher traveling the world with his girlfriend. What will I do with the rest of my life? Your guess is as good as mine.

One day, I'll win the lottery and stay a month in every country. Maybe a little less when I'm in the Congo.

PHILOSOPHY

"To see a world in a grain of sand
And a heaven in a wild flower,
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand,
And eternity in an hour." - William Blake

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

For now, I'm just mooching couches, but in the future when I don't live in a tiny apartment in a town that no one visits in a state that's not too interesting, I'll have a specific couch designated for fellow surfers. It will be pink.
