About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Everyone has a story, and I like hearing stories. I want to learn more things, meet more people, live more life.

ABOUT ME

I've had two great passions in my life - the euphoria of traveling and the satisfaction of helping those who can't help themselves alone. I like to join the two whenever possible...let's see...I'm extremely unpredictable in some ways and usually am quite impulsive. Therefore, I find myself in situations that surprise myself, my family, and my friends.

PHILOSOPHY

This is a pretty big question for such a wee hour of the night. Maybe I'd say that I live my life to learn and to love. I've done both and hope to never stop.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm currently in transition from India to who knows where, so I am staying with friends and family during this summer. I'm therefore available to meet and hear your stories and share mine :) I hope to have a couch soon!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My friend has a couch and hosts couchsurfers, so I like the idea. Don't have any of my own experiences, though, yet :)

Interests

TRAVELING, Islamic culture, religion, social service, hiking, microbrews, cryptozoology, futbol (the real kind - soccer, not the american football), world history.

Music, Movies, and Books

Favorite movie is definitely Scent of a Woman with Little Miss Sunshine close behind, and The Lives of Others. Also I love foreign films - some independent bollywood films, french and german films, and even a swedish film every now and then :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Too many to list. The world is full of amazing things, and I have seen or done a good handful - including skydiving, seeing the berlin wall, eiffel tower, 2nd largest pyramid...

Teach, Learn, Share

Well, I'm good at baking things. I love food too much for my own good. I can't think of anything else at the moment.
