I am a civil engineer by profession and a traveler by heart. Currently working as Construction Cost Estimator in San Francisco. I am a cool, friendly and a caring person.I like to spread happiness and make the world a better place to live. I like to accost with people and their culture. Had traveled and lived in 8 countries and would like to add more to the list.

Philosophy

Follow your heart! Die without any regrets!

Life is short to be spent worrying, so enjoy

Live, let live!

Life is a journey and each day is a lesson to be learnt, just came up with it

End has not come, you are still alive!

Explore the world, what else do you have.

More we know the people, less is our difference.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To network with people and have friends all over the world. I like the concept of couchsurfing that teaches to embrace people irrespective of our cultural differences.

Interests

I like to travel and visit as many countries as possible. Have been to 8 countries and would like to travel more, meet new people and explore the beautiful world. Life is short to stay in a single place. Architecture, archaeology , buildings, monuments, hiking, trekking, swimming,people, food, culture, philosophy and martial arts. I would like to play cricket, chess, table tennis and card games. I like to walk in a new place as it gives more time to grasp the surroundings around you. I am a good listener and would encourage good conversation on all topics ( nothing is off limit to me)

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: Indian, Ok kanmani, Inside out, The pursuit of happyness, Nimirindhu nil, Bangalore days,Sci-fi movies.

Music: Would appreciate any good music irrespective of the language. I strongly believe love and music have no boundaries.

Books: The Fountainhead, Atlas shrugged, One night at the call center

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have traveled with people whom I met on lonely planet and hostels and was wonderful experience.

My first international trip to France.

Had Champagne in Eiffel tower.

Visited the world's tallest building , Burj Khalifa.

Traveling in the world's fastest roller coaster.

Seeing Taj Mahal at early sunrise.

Free drop, wild wadi.

Helped people in distress and have funded poor children to study. Trust me, it was amazing!

Teach, Learn, Share

I like to get lost and find my inner self. I can teach South Indian culture,Tamil, cook South Indian cuisine, tea and coffee ( What's different, come to my home for a cup of tea or coffee). I could host you in San Francisco and show you around. I love to play chess, poker, foosball , table tennis, cricket and of-course teach you with my little knowledge . I am interested in martial arts and a white belt Hapkidoist.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can cook Indian food but don't complain if its hot and spicy. Indian culture, cuisine and my contradicting philosophies. I could share happiness if you are willing to take it, as happiness is from inner self. Could share long walk and talk.
