CURRENT MISSION

Giving back to the community by hosting interesting travelers

ABOUT ME

We're a curious traveller and explorer couple. We want my life to be a long slow travel. Our desire is to travel around the world, dig interesting people, understand cultures, learn new languages, try regional food. This has currently brought us to Berlin straight from our homes (Chirantan from India and Jasmin from Israel). We love to try new things, be it sushi making at home, sailing a boat, go motorbiking in the Himalayas or hitchhiking in Iceland… and we have many interesting stories to tell!

PHILOSOPHY

Be grateful. Cultivate optimism. Avoid over-thinking & comparison. Be kind. Nurture social relationships. Forget. Forgive. Savor life's joys. Commit to goals. Practice spirituality. Take care of your body. Eat. Drink. Make Merry. Travel. Take it easy. Don't worry. Be happy. Go out of your way to make others happy.

Interests

Travelling is our greatest love. No, may be it's food. Argh, both! We're religious foodies and passionate hobby cooks. We love to cook for others and share the joy. We also like to have engaging conversations with interesting people. Beer is our favorite drink, well, so is coffee. We also love languages! Jasmin is a near professional dancer and passionate about the environment. Chirantan is a passionate cook trapped in the corporate world. He is very much into photography too.
