About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Living life to the fullest.. Help the needy!

ABOUT ME

"Two tons of serious fun"!! That is what all my friends use to call me. (I am on the heavy side) Active and passionate towards life and open minded, Like to try new things. Very adventurous!

PHILOSOPHY

Life is too short to make walls around you.. better make bridges to link, network more, whom you know is better than what you know and that matters anytime when you are travelling..

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am a professional marketer and brand manager, whilst working I travel. I am trying my best to be flexible, So I manage to find time explore the world, new people and cultures. I like what I like doing and I do spend time with couch surfers with similar interests! Families may welcome to Sri Lanka.. and we are ready to help whenever possible.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Started CS by hosting two travelers from Jersey at my residence for 3 nights 4 days! They were cool and we had a great time. And there after I had few other guests from around the globe. Have met CS's few times and offered free rides whenever I travel out of Colombo (the commercial capital of Sri Lanka)

I was hosted twice in Sweden and in Denmark and it was a really a cool experience to get to know new people and getting to know their cultures, making new friends around the globe.

Planing to meet more people in Sri Lanka and elsewhere.
