“Behind a plethora of varying expressions, a little scruff and Neanderthal caveman features lies a Bear Grylls inspired explorer. Give me a backpack and a pair of sneakers and I’ll set sail on a worldwide journey to explore the bank on the other side of the stream. Strike a conversation and I’ll have an intriguing story to tell about my journeys.” I am always seeking answers, finding and learning new things and it would be quite apt to say that I have been an explorer all my life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people and make friends around the world. I would like to share stories and experiences.

Music, Movies, and Books

Coldplay are genius! Ed Sheeran is a prodigy! Everglow and Paradise are my favourite songs. I usually like stuff that is calming and allows me to gaze at the sky.

I loved Boyhood for the sheer effort (it was shot over 12 years!) and depiction of something so real. Lion, Life of Pi, The Zookeeper's wife, Argo would be special mentions. The movie should either be soulful, showcase endeavor or be surreal for me to enjoy it.

Most Non-Fiction books are good reads for me. The Harry Potter series by far is the only exception- I would call myself a big Potter Maniac.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Para sailing in Thailand! By far the most adrenaline pumping experience that I have had.
Turning Vegetarian has been the best decision of my life. It gives me immense satisfaction and happiness.

Teach, Learn, Share

I enjoy drama, I can teach you some improv theatre!
I would want to learn anything I can. Pretty much everyone is endowed with something special and on interaction, I am pretty sure I can learn something.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Intriguing stories from my travels around the world.
I have a very keen and observant eyeball and am good at recalling details. I have a penchant for debating and am up for discussions on current events, politics, history and perspectives.
I would also be pleased to take you on tour around my city.
