I have been on the road since early 2014 and i have taken by biggest break in Nov'19 when I moved to France and have been working as a chef in a french restaurant. I have traveled mostly India, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia and then bits & pieces in Nepal, France, Portugal and Czechia. But it has been a beautiful long voyage with a lot of intensity, learnings, wisdom, fun, experiences, memories etc.

I am quite open minded I'd say and I try to follow detachment as much as I can. I am quite social and it gives me a good feeling to see that I have friends in almost every continent. But I am still hungry to meet more people and exchange as much as possible. A lot of things to unlearn and learn :)

Music, Movies, and Books

Books - Catcher in the rye, On the road, Atlas Shrugged, Endurance, Siddhartha. I don't read motivational books unless it's a story. I find them quite boring. I love fictional, crime thrillers, even Manga.
Movies - Mulholland Drive, No Country For Old Men, Amelie, La'uberge Espagnol, Capernaum. I am a big fan of international movies and I take out time every week or 2 to watch a good quality movie. Not a big fan of pop movies from Hollywood.
Music - Led zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Doors, Charles Aznavour, Björk, Stromae, Qurat-Ul-Lain Balouch, a lot of Sufi from the north India & Pakistan. There can't be a list to be honest. It changes quite often.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- Travelled India for 1.5 years at a budget of 3USD a day
- Did a divemasters internship for 4 months in Andaman Island
- Made our own trek in the Himalayas (Kishtiwar National Park) using Google satellite images & inserting GPS locations on the watch.
- Biked across the length of Vietnam
- Worked as a teacher at Phuktal Monastery
Can be a long list :)

Teach, Learn, Share

Well I can teach some basic Indian cooking or even french. I am pretty bad in languages so I wouldn't recommend you to ask me meaning of words in my language(s).
I can share stories of my travels and some tips for cheap travels in Asia.
I would love to learn the local cuisine, history and some secret places of the city you live in.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A lot of stories! I am not too bad in meditation, so I can teach you some cool easy tricks. And of course cooking :)
