About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel all over the world ! Open my senses and experience the sheer magnitude of our beautiful Planet Earth. Make the world a friendlier place by smiling and passing on the infectious disease of smiling! :) Couchsurfing is simply incredible and enables us to connect on so many levels with locals, who simply make sure that the Earth still has it's sanity and humanity intact!

ABOUT ME

A very friendly, open minded, outgoing, carefree, adventurous, Indian guy. Loves meeting new people and have a huge interest in outdoor activities and photography and walking and sports and cars and driving and motorbike riding and reading and sketching and travelling and eating out and partying... phew.. lemme catch my breath.. in fact..I am never bored... Not so extroverted, and likes close knitted small groups rather than huge social gatherings! :) i love doing anything.. :) .. not too talkative.. perhaps even a bit shy. :)

PHILOSOPHY

Smile... at everyone you see... and see the magic spread all around.. :)
Carpe Diem...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Right now, not in a position to host anyone unfortunately. But I would definitely love to meetup for a walk or a coffee or anything else fun! :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couched in Denmark (Copenhagen) for 2 nights. Terrific and had a ball of a time in Copenhagen! Wonderful charming city! Hosted a bunch of people... And been part of the CS Stammtisch in Graz, Austria... Lifechanging experiences :) and surfed in Greece as well, in a Sustainable home. It was incredible. And surfed in the Canary Islands as well., and Norway too!

Interests

Like minded open minded globe trotters or backpackers or tourists, it doesn't make too much of a difference. Travelling is the most important chapter of a big story called "Life".
CS is just mind blowing.. a life changer ... rather living the life of my dreams.. meeting and interacting with people.. from literally everywhere in the world! :) thank this lifetime... for having CS.. :)
