About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Eating food of any shape,taste and size(includes sushi,crickets and hoppers) in limitless quantities and not throw up.

ABOUT ME

In Tokyo for 2 years now and loving it. Looking to make some good friends with common interests. I am half an adrenaline junkie( half as in half mad which is worse but also not bad as being completely adrenaline crazy which is better in this regard as my lifespan is also longer , hope that made sense), like traveling, an art lover and an animal lover(I almost quit my job to run off and save sea turtles), like football and a foodie!

PHILOSOPHY

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I look for interesting events related to art, festivals and concerts.

I attended the CS Meet in Bangalore,India on May 2014 which was a lot of fun.
Attended the CS Meet at Bar Speakeasy in Toshima-ku,Tokyo,Japan on 25th September,2014. It was small,over-crowded(more than 70+ attendees I think) and little stuffy to be completely honest. But had some good conversations and met some very interesting people there.

Music, Movies, and Books

Paddle boating through the mangrove forests of palawan.

Ziplined between two islands over the South China Sea.

Snorkeling over coral reefs near the islands of El Nido.

I've told stories that have made middle-age people poop their pants and little kids laugh.

I have seen amazing places in South India and conquered a few mountain tops.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to drink like a fish without throwing up.

Swear words in a few of the hundreds of languages in India. I do know some Russian ones as well.

To not do a face-plant while doing a back-flip on the sea shore.
