It took me some time to realize that life isnt just about working hard and achieving goals .. But also relax and enjoy the little things that often gets unnoticed. I try to balance work with fun by taking breaks. I love nature and enjoy trekking and hiking . I am a bit of history buff. I like to explore historic places and ruins. Would like to learn about other cultures.. Someday would love to share my culture as a host in my country.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have always wondered how people in different parts of the world live. To make friends .. And meet new people, I think couchsurfing is a nice platform. Hope its going to be nice adventure.

Interests

Enthusiasm to explore and adventure has always been in me. My hobbies are mostly outdoors. We all know what hobbies and interests are- You know those fun activities we partake to distract ourselves from stress. I plan trips with friends or go solo backpacking when I need a break. I love meeting and talking to new people its always refreshing and it helps me rethink things. For some unknown reason hikking helps me calm my mind. I love nature and all its divine beauty.. Exploring places and cultures enriches my thoughts and ideas. I am always open to new things. I also enjoy cooking, yoga and bike riding.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Me, my dog and couple of my friends went on a trek in the woods. We were lost on our way back and wandered into the forrest. All of a sudden from the bushes, a king cobra stood almost as tall as me once when my dog angered it. I managed calm my dog and helped the cobra find its path... Luckily no one got hurt
