About Me

CURRENT MISSION

My mission is to bring the world together through rainbows, sunshine and tequila. And unicorns.

ABOUT ME

Beer lover. Wanna be philosopher. Traveller. Looking to meet people that don't take life seriously. And love tequila and beer. I have a cute disabled cat named Phoebe. She has wobbly cat syndrome and I named her Phoebe after the way Phoebe runs in "Friends". :)

I prefer guests who don't mind having a drink or two or eating non-vegetarian. Just because there's more for me to share in terms of going out somewhere or cooking at home. Having said that, everyone is welcome!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've surfed several times in south america and hosted several surfers in Mumbai and Goa. I love it and will do it a million times over.

Interests

I love getting creative. I work as a freelance Copywriter in advertising and that how i keep busy most of the time.
I have a guitar lying in the corner that I'm pretty sure abuses me everyday. Same with the the piano. :)
I like playing ultimate Frisbee. We usually play everyday on the beach and you're welcome to join.
Also experiment with cooking. As long and there's some music playing in the background and enough alcohol in my glass.

Music, Movies, and Books

House, jazz, chill-out, alternative, indie, you name it, i listen to it. Some of my regulars would be Dave Brubeck, Foo Fighters, Koop, Sigur Ros, Deadmau5,
I confess, i've not read LOTR. I just can't! My favourite book so far has been Catch 22. And a comic series called the Far Side by Gary Larson.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've been through one war in Kuwait (sort of).
Witnessed a riot in Gujarat.
A flood in Mumbai.
Almost got swept out into the open sea while kayaking in the Phillipines.
Take your pick!

Teach, Learn, Share

I know some cool hole in the wall places to eat, shop and drink in Mumbai and Goa.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can teach you the basics of Piano (which is really not that much) and exactly three chords on a guitar. I can also teach you to make my favourite Goan dish Choris Pulav (goan sausages and rice). I can hook you up with some bike rental guys while you're here and if i'm free, i'll take you around to some great local places to eat and drink.
