CURRENT MISSION

to start thinking about my future one day!!! But before that, to do an "around-the-world-in-N-days" trip....

ABOUT ME

A Nepalese with love for music, nature, mountains, wilderness, meeting new and interesting people, beer, sports, football and Manchester United! Fond of traveling, taking pictures and making friends.

I hate being left to talk to myself and having to take selfies!

PHILOSOPHY

To start talking about the true meaning of life and stuff like that, I would need a drink first :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Started out mostly looking for hosts and people to have a chat with when I was traveling outside of Nepal. I went to a few events and meetings in the UK. Not able to regularly go to local CS meetings/events but has been fun meeting up people as often as it has been.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
If 'well begun is half done', I think I did three quarters during my first couchsurfing experience in Manchester. And the CS curve did not dip down as I continued CS-ing mostly all over England.

*hope to have more such experiences in the future and add more to this section soon and often*

Interests

All too addictive- Sports. Football. Trail running. Music. Beer. Nature. Mountains. Beauty.

Music, Movies, and Books

way too many to mention.

I love most sorts of music (bit less into hip-hop).

Books- not a regular reader but when I lay my hands onto an interesting book, I finish it as fast as I can and with as few interruptions as possible. Everything Malcolm Gladwell has written/podcast-ed is dope. Eagerly waiting for release of the next book on the series of 'A song of fire and Ice'.

TV series- an addict of House MD. Amazing character- might not exactly have paved guidelines for how I practice medicine, but has taught me that if you are good at something you need not care about anything else.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

been to Old Trafford (I consider that one of the highlights of my life).

did the Manaslu trail race in Nov 2015 as a race medic. covered over 212 km race over 9 days at altitude.

more of a learning experience for me- me and three of my friends slept in a cowshed once while trekking to Khaptad having lost track of place. That I did not s**t my pants in the middle of night when it started to snow is surely amazing.

been up to 5700m altitude. Did bits of ice-climbing on glaciers. Worked as medic on high altitude. Decent number of treks in Nepal- Everest Base camp, Annapurna Base camp, Thorang la pass, Tilicho lake, Langtang, Gosainkunda, Rara lake, Khaptad National Park, Upper Mustang... and hoping the list never ends.

Teach, Learn, Share

I think we learn the most from the most random people that we meet. The ones we do not meet on a daily basis, the ones who are in a field totally unrelated to the one we are in.
