About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Learn, teach, be happy!
ABOUT ME
I like to view my self as (or I want to be) a polymath. I am a doctor, educator, programmer, writer, traveller, amateur archeologist, amature photographer, raconteur and a computer scientist.
I'm strong willed, optimistic, sceptical, unorthodox and quick tempered.
I strongly believe in equity, justice and universal human dignity.
PHILOSOPHY
Do what makes me and others happy!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
We love hosting people at our home near Kandy, Sri Lanka. Unfortunately we are not there always. So whenever we meet people whose plans tally with ours we host.
Once in a while we travel too and we love to stay with fellow couch surfers.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I have hosted and surfed several times. All people I have met till now have been wonderful and many have become good friends with whom we communicate regularly.
It's a great way to get to know people and the world itself!
