About Me

ABOUT ME

I grew up in Bangalore, the technology capital of India, which has a population of about 8 million. When I first moved to Neuchatel (in Switzerland) in 2006, it was a pleasant shock to see such a small village(err .. city I mean). Initially, I panicked to see such few people outside.Eventually, I after seeing 'Fete de Vendange', annual wine festival which happens here in Neuchatel, I felt at home.
Do not get me wrong, I do love small cities and villages.I enjoy the diversity of life and the world have to offer.
There's nothing I'd like more than to meet you, walk around a new city with you, and bask in the pleasures of travel, discovery, and new friendship.

PHILOSOPHY

As Plato said "Philosophy begins in wonder", and I always wonder how beautiful and different this world is.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I first heard of CS over a conversation from my best friend who lives in Basel. When I came back home that night after the conversation, first thing I did was to look up CS and have been hooked to it ever since.
I have been to quite a few CS gatherings, dinners, BBQs etc. Every time I meet the CS group I am thrilled to meet so many fantastic people. I love CS!
