ABOUT ME

Well this is always a great experience... trying to sum yourself up in a sentence! I'm pretty amazing, interesting, talented and modest...heh heh. I love roaming around the world and the pace of travel life... the people the places... and dreaming of my beautiful home.

PHILOSOPHY

avoid broad sweeping statements at all costs? ...except that one

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm really interested in community and love hosting as well as being hosted by truly incredible complete strangers! (that really only feel like strangers for half a second)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far everyone I've met on or through couch surfing has been great... My flatmate was on couch surfing in New Zealand and we hosted heaps of wonderful people- since traveling everyone has been awesome. Anu was my first couch surf in Calcutta and I don't know what I would have done without his help! In hindsight I was so shell shocked at such a different place. Over the years I've met incredible people around the world- many that I'm still in regular contact with.

Interests

There isn't alot I'm disinterested in, but I could give obsessive in-depth sports analysis a miss (yawn)... some specifics would include film- both watching and making, wandering beaches, stomping streets, art, art history, film, cats, sailing,scuba diving, writing, Music-play cello & bass and will get into my sitar when I get home, coffee and good conversation to name a few.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Deciding that travel and waking up from established comfort zones is one of the most integral things to growth... that's when the amazing stuff started happening

Balloon ride over luxor, wreck diving in Bodrum, and trekking by myself with no map in Ladakh was pretty choice too :)

Teach, Learn, Share

Well, if you ever want an art class, walk my way?
