About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To live tastily

ABOUT ME

I'm 23 a Kiwi chap Born in India and at Uni in Melbourne. I've taught Drama in the U.K, I work as an actor to supplement my life as a Geography student. I practice yoga most days of the week, Ashtanga style, case anyone cares:) My girlfriend and I have moved to Spain for a year. I'm doing my Diploma (on the side) in Spanish. Right now I'm eating Manchego with picual olive oil in the sun, the first day of Spring in Spain. My friend, to top of the functional stereotype, has begun a session of flamenco guitar.

I love reading, all sorts, serious stuff like Thomas Mann and the Upanishads, to Harry Potter.

PHILOSOPHY

“Do not impose on others what you do not wish for yourself.”

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have hosted surfers in the past in my place in Melbourne. I am learning Spanish, and have moved to Spain to make a proper attempt at it.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Only hosting with my old flatmate in Melbourne. Had a fantastic time meeting people from around the world. The best experience was my a chap named Ian who had travelled around the world for 2 years. He rocked up at our place after being kinda run over in traffic. He really inspired me to travel and experience the world by getting in involved with CS. The generosity I've seen by members of couch surfing injects goodwill into travel. Love it.
