ABOUT ME

Been 10 years, i left home and moved around for studies, work and leisure. Was in Mumbai before moving to US for a project. Lived in US for 2 year and half and now based in London.

I love traveling and have lot of places in the list which i still have to explore. I love to travel to beaches, love nature parks, mountains. I'd love to spend weekend on top of mountain, and experience nature, view sunrise and sunset. I love meeting new people, partying, watching movies and electro music. Im night person, and on weekends sometimes im out partying whole night. Weekdays, i prefer to go to bed by midnight or 1 AM. We can go out on weekdays as well :)

PHILOSOPHY

"Work Hard. Party Harder"
"There is first time for everything."
"Whatever happens, happens for Good"
"If people never did silly things, nothing intelligent would ever get done"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

After joining CS in Mar'08, i was out from the scene for almost 8 months, because of work. Started going for meet-ups and started hosting travelers. Made some real great friends and still in contact with all of them. Hosting was a wonderful experience and have opened my house doors for travelers again, after taking break because of some constraints. Meet CSers in NYC for coffee/drinks/dinner, party-dancing sometimes and different CS/Non-CS events.
Have also helped CSers with information about Princeton and NYC, which really help them to plan out there travel.
