Overview
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!

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.
