Expect the Unexpected that's me...!!!

**Travelling – it leaves you speechless, then turns you into a storyteller – Ibn Battuta**

I am a Gujarati guy, staying in Kolkata.

So if you are coming to Kolkata, just drop by and say Hi to me and i would definitely catch up with you!

I am a fun loving, open minded, liberal and out door person. I enjoy going out of the city every other weekend, either solo or with activity groups.
I enjoy travelling to new place and make new friends along the way where we share out past experience. I also love hiking and i even take part in marathon running events, it helps me to stay active.

I have stayed in all the major cities in India either for study or for work.

I am a minimalist. I do not believe much in materialistic things. My philosophy of life is:

We have only one life, it is a beautiful life, make it large, enjoy everyday, live the moment, take risks, do not sit at home to be safe. Love your parents and friends, do something good for the society and the needy, do not harm any one. Explore places, learn from others lives and appreciate what you have and be happy. Happiness and sadness are state of mind, Happiness should come from within and not from external stuff/things.

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails." -- Mark Twain

I am new and irregular in CS but Active in FB (https://www.facebook.com/ankit4angels)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am very happy to be part of CS. Till date I have fantastic experience with my guests and hosts. I am in touch with all of those lovely people. I learned so much from them, about their daily life, hardships, travel stories, love stories and their philosophy. I am a student of life. I feel I need to know lot of things from people. This kind of experience cannot be bought by money. This experience has made me happier, more outgoing, more relaxed, open minded and it has given me lot of positive energy :)
I want to continue hosting people from all over the globe and help them stay peacefully in my home and help them with everything they need here and become friends for life.
