Architect by profession. Seeker. Hopeless romantic. High on Idealism, low on realism. I might be a bit reserved at first, but I can have a good conversation with someone when I get to know that person. Could spend days reflecting on the meaning of life and other such topics. Loves philosophical discussions. Loves watching the world go by from the window seat of a bus. Currently researching Alternative Lifestyles. My ambition is to create a human settlement that strives towards Utopian values.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing would help me to meet other people from around the world who share my interests
I believe, staying with local hosts would give me a more authentic experience than staying in a hotel
I prefer not to limit my travels to photo ops at tourist traps, but rather get an idea of everyday life in the places I visit. I would love to have a proper conversation with a local person and get to know about their ideas and point of view
