CURRENT MISSION

To live passionately, and to make a difference!

ABOUT ME

I am a wanderer but, I am not lost. Traveling is my drug of choice and I plan to spend my life experiencing other countries, cultures, people, philosophies, food, etc. In the wonderfully accurate words of the red hot chili peppers, "the more I see, the less I know, the more I like to let it go" ...:-)

PHILOSOPHY

Ask yourself what makes you feel ALIVE and then spend your life pursuing that thing - because the world needs more people who feel alive.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I had the pleasure of hosting surfers from around the world while I was living in Iquitos, Peru. I love couchsurfing because it helps me meet locals whereever I go, make human connections, and have genunine experiences in foreign places! :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

You can always achieve more with communities than you can on your own...couchsurfing has been the link for me that helps me become part of a community no matter where I go...and I try to do the same for people who surf with me!

Teach, Learn, Share

Trying to learn Malayalam and still French, happy to help with Spanish and English. Love cooking, can share! Inspired by people solving problems, my personal passion is social business (especially those creating access to critical resources), happy to share discussions about sustainable development! Happy to learn everything! Right now I'm taking an online course of world history since 1300 and trying to learn as much as possible about India and Kerala through study, experience, and personal interactions.
