About Me

After many years of running the corporate rat race, I decided to take off and go back to living the life of a student and try and see the world as one. I presently live and study in Sweden in the city of Umea. Traveling wise I am still a novice, and haven't seen too much of the world, which I believe is a crime. I intend to right this wrong by seeing as much of Europe as I can before I finish my studies. I am a good listener and am always open to talk about any topic, though some of I can write you a nice little poem or a note with my handwriting if you host me. You can also reach out to me if you need any help or information should you decide to visit India.

Cheers and Happy Travels!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I hope to be able to meet you and learn about your beautiful countries and culture during my travels. Experiencing it as a tourist and experiencing it as a local are two different things and I believe couch surfing is a great way to do this. This is the main reason I want to couch surf.

Interests

My main passions are Football (Arsenal FC), Music (Hip-hop, Blues, Jazz, Funk), Business & Technology. I also write a little bit of poetry from time to time and practice a little calligraphy when I can.

I love food and would love to sample local cuisines and beer. Interested in Art, Culture and Nature.

Music, Movies, and Books

Favourite music genres are Hip Hop (Old School & Underground), Blues, Jazz, Funk.

Favourite movies, don't have any specific titles but make it a point to watch a lot of World Cinema because Hollywood and Bollywood (India) can get a little boring at times.

Favourite Books - Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy, The Riot, Alchemist, The Goal, Fever Pitch, Stillness and Speed, Kite Runner and many more.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Cliff Diving - Although it was a relatively small cliff, I think doing this requires a lot of courage. And I am glad I was able to push myself to do it. Hopefully I get to do more crazy and amazing things during my travels.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach
If English is not your native language, I can help you improve a bit when I visit you. If you have any document or text in English that needs to be improved or corrected I am your guy.

I can also teach you a little calligraphy if you wish.

Share
I can share information about India and Umea. If you own a small business or are an entrepreneur I can give you some free consulting. I can share any other information based on your interests and mine (if they match), I consider information as my expertise.

Learn
I would love to learn a few words and customs in your local language and culture. I would love to learn a simple dish that I can make that is native to your culture. I would love to learn a dance or song native to your culture.
