About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To find friends who can make this journey of life memorable

ABOUT ME

Hi Friends! I'm a regular guy who loves adventure and travelling. I like making friends and learning about other cultures. I'm also interested in history and how the world has shaped to what it is now. I'm usually fun to be with and always look forward to new experiences - be it food, places, ideas, cultures...

It's always fascinating to meet people from other countries/ cultures and this site provides an excellent opportunity to do this!

PHILOSOPHY

I believe in the saying "live and let live" and enjoy every moment, because "nothing lasts forever"!

I value honesty, simplicity, kindness and a good sense of humour!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

It has been a great experience so far.

Have hosted two people while I was living in Mumbai - one from Norway and another from Hungary.

Since I've moved to Newcastle, UK, I've hosted many people from various countries - Canada, Portugal, Italy, Taiwan, and Germany. I do hope all of them have had a great experience!

My experience in terms of surfing has been limited so far - one CS friend, Leonardo, hosted me in Portugal. It was a wonderful experience as I was made to feel very welcome in his house! Another time, in Prague, Ladislav and his partner showed me around the city and took me to some great places, events.

Interests

Travelling, Adventure Sports, Movies, Cooking, Watching TV, Reading, Music.

Music, Movies, and Books

Too many to list here.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have done simulated sky-diving (well, I did fly, even if it was for a couple of minutes!) in Malaysia and it was simply fantastic!

Teach, Learn, Share

One of the primary reasons for me to join CS is to be able to meet people from different countries and cultures, learn about them and their way of living and also to share personal experiences.

Countries I’ve Visited

Belgium, Bhutan, Chile, Czech Republic, France, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Italy, Netherlands, Portugal, Singapore, Spain, Switzerland, Thailand, United Kingdom

Countries I’ve Lived In

Canada, India, Malaysia, South Korea, United Kingdom
