About Me

ABOUT ME

Well for starters I am a really joyful guy. I can have fun and satisfying conversations with anybody. I read a lot of books and watch tons of movies.(I know its a corny line but whatever I wrote it when I was 19, so keeping it) I got my bachelors in architecture and worked in the industry for 2 years while doing my masters in interactive technologies. (augmented reality and stuff) Then I swtiched lanes and started working as a 3D artist and gradually an augmented reality developer. It's amazing where a little bit of code can get you lol. Mostly I work,drink and babble about politics or art( mostly:)

PHILOSOPHY

Plan big, live bigger

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am a really easy-going person. I can sleep anywhere as long as I have a pillow. I am pretty organised about my stuff but spontaneous about my travels which I think makes my trips more interesting and experimental.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I LOVE CS. love it,love it love it. I truly believe that doing cs increases the amount of awesomeness of any travel. You can check my references for all the great times I had as a surfer and host if you are soooo interested in me :D All great people. ( But I hate people who joined CS just because it is free or that it seems cool to have an account. Be committed, fill your profile with fun stuff, thats how we pick hosts or surfers to have an amazing time.)

By the way if you could write "Luminol" at the beginning of your couchrequest, there is a better chance for me to host you.

PS : I havent used this platform since our economy crashed and the pandemic happened so I'm slowly getting back in it dont judge me
