I'm a jungle cat in urban captivity. Covid makes me work from home while my childhood was always outdoors. I have motor cycle which i use for long distance rides. Plan to get into cycling in the near future as well.
I used to be an Assistant Prof but since even EDUCATION is corporate today, I have moved to a Edutech Job. I like playing more that watching others play :)
I've two kittens at home that were a gift to my then GF and now wife. But I'm allergic to cats.
Sometimes i like to talk and sometimes i like to shut up.
but overall I'm good company - wont bore you!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Its a community thing. It helps me to travel on a budget. I might meet interesting open minded people. I might also meet dangerous manipulative people whom I'd have to learn to keep safe from. Its a risk as well as an opportunity and id gladly give it a shot.
My cousin recently did a bike ride from Goa to Gujarat and slept in shady motels on the way (can be fun). I'd prefer more environment friendly options.
Id like to travel soon and that's why
