CURRENT MISSION

Keep traveling and learn new stuff.

ABOUT ME

I am a kind and adventurous person. Powered by Curiosity more than anything else. There's always so much to see and do and experience. At the same time, it's easy to be happy with the here and now.
Right now I'm working on educating people about ecological issues apart from trying to set up renewable energy projects.

PHILOSOPHY
One who lives in contentment has no need to fear death, does not see scarcity and makes conscious decisions based on true free will. This is one of the themes going on in my head recently.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm new and I don't have a couch just yet. Maybe after I clean up my old house..

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I started in 2013 with a totally impromptu road trip with a bunch of complete strangers.
The next year I took a 1 year break from work to travel more. Not really used couchsurfing much.

Music, Movies, and Books

Recently read The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. I enjoy Arthur Conan Doyle, and Ruskin Bond's works. Also Man's search for meaning was pretty profound, so is The Road Less traveled, which I'm reading right now.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

1.Bicycling downhill on a steep twisting mountain road. Against the traffic.
2. Getting rimrocked on a cliff with no supplies. Then climbing down without a rope.
3. 2800kms in 4 days Mumbai to Agra and back - a road trip just 1 month after driving lessons!

Teach, Learn, Share
