CURRENT MISSION

Gotta catch 'em all!

ABOUT ME

I believe my journey in this world is just beginning.

There is so much to tell about me but I would much rather tell you in person so I'll be brief on my profile.

I was born in India but I was brought up in Dubai. I now study in Indiana University which is located in America.

I currently major in Advertising and minor in political science.

I have friends all over the world and absolutely love making new ones.

I'm very laid back and love to talk the night away.

I care a lot about other peoples feelings. I will always go out of my way to make things right.

I will help anyone and everyone if I can. I don't just say that, I actually do it.

I'm a lot of fun and I'm always up for a good time.

I may be able to save your life. Recently finished my Emergency First Aid course, licensed and all.

Get to know me and I promise you I'll be worth your time.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Within Bloomington I unfortunately will not be able to host someone but I would really like to get to know other couch surfers especially if we have mutual interests.

I also live in Dubai and parts of India during May-August and can definitely host in these places.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had heard about couch surfing a while ago but felt I was too young to participate. I lost my old profile so I get a fresh start in this awesome experience.

Interests

I'm very passionate about Scuba diving. I'm a dive master and master scuba diver. This is probably my retirement plan.

I enjoy sailing, fencing, water skiing and archery.

I'm half decent at ballroom dancing and dandiya (An Indian dance).

I play video games on the occasion and recently finished Halo 4.

I also play football (Soccer), Snowboard, smoke hookah.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm a big TV and movie buff. I like a lot of shows but to name a few would be Modern Family, Suits, Lost, Dexter, How I met your mother and Top gear. The list of movies I like are far too long but I'm sure we have something in common.

I like reading when I can find the time and some of the books I read recently are Gang leader for a day, Old man and the sea and Tintin. I've read a LOT more books though..

I like a lot of artists and bands but my music taste can probably be best defined by my 8tracks profile. http://8tracks.com/gaurav-maitreya

Some artists I like are: Alt-J, Pretty lights, Puddle of Mudd and The Smashing Pumpkins.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've done a lot of amazing things in my life and I thank my stars that I've had the opportunity to do so but recently it would be watching Ellie Goulding perform whilst floating in the sea with my Scuba gear on. It's an awesome story and if you get to know me i'll tell you...
