I'm someone who hasn't had a permanent abode, but i've had many homes spread across the length and breadth of the Indian subcontinent.

I don't know if i should call myself lucky, because even though i've had the chance to visit many wonderful places across India always get a chance to experience them. Perhaps time will give me the opportunity to go back ane rediscover memories from the past.

I love conversation, long walks, hot chocolate, live music, more conversation.

I yearn to experience the places I travel to, not just see them. It has been over four years since I really got around to traveling the way I love to and I hope 2023 is the year I get to do it again. I'm not entirely sure where I want to go, but I'm sure I will figure it out.

I don't usually choose my experiences, I just choose to experience more.

PS. I haven't updated the pictures in 5 years.

Back on couchsurfing after a pleasant surprise.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To have a more personal experience, live in a homely environment, meet new people and also get to learn more than i would as an oblivious traveller.

I have realised that people teach you more than formal education ever could, and human interaction is what makes life more than what it is.

Interests

Photography. Music ( I'm on the appreciating end, I can play the uke but only at a beginner level, and I do like to sing.

I read occasionally. i love to talk, and eat, among other things

• music
• history
• conversation

Music, Movies, and Books

My taste in music is extremely diverse. I can't pick favorites.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Trekked to Kareri in Dharamshala unguided with 3 friends.

Went on a solo trip to Barot Valley, a small village in India, changing three buses in 16 hours in Rs3000 ( about 45eur) including the travel as well as accomodation and food.

Spent Christmas in Lapland, Finland with a group of people i didn't know before in -22 degrees Celsius.

Visited Malta and Iceland in the same month (Iceland wins for sure)

Hitchhiked 300kms in Latvia!

Traveled for a month in eastern Europe, with a tiny budget, visited almost 9 countries and a music festival, and had the best time of my life so far.

Teach, Learn, Share

Experiences. I'm not as boring as my profile may sound. I have also learnt how to cook of late, and am willing to share what i know! Talking is one of my favorite things to do, whether frivolous or meaningful, i can do it all. But i prefer to talk of substance, even if painful to the conscience.

I have studied a lot of different things over the years, I don't think i particularly can offer a single skill. But I'm sure there's something to learn for everyone anyway!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Stories. Conversation, perhaps pancakes and coffee for breakfast too!
