ABOUT ME

🏚 I'm an explorer of the forgotten, always on the hunt for abandoned places with stories to tell.
✉️ Sending postcards to strangers around the globe is my unique way of spreading joy and connecting with the world.
✈️ A plane spotter at heart, I love gazing up at the sky and playing the game of guessing the airlines.
📋 My life is a series of meticulously crafted checklists, each one a blueprint for adventure.
🚆 Trains are my passion – from high-speed marvels to charming old steam engines, I love experiencing them all.
🍻🍷 I'm on a quest to sample the finest beers and wines from every corner of the earth, one sip at a time.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is an endless adventure, and each moment is an opportunity to create a story worth telling. I believe in living with curiosity and an open heart, embracing the unknown, and finding beauty in the unexpected. Every person I meet has a lesson to teach and a story to share, and I strive to connect deeply and authentically with those around me. Travel is my classroom, and the world is my teacher. I practice gratitude daily, cherish small joys, and seek out experiences that enrich my soul. My guiding principle: live boldly, love generously, and never stop exploring.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Honestly, I’m here because life is too short for ordinary. I crave genuine connections and the kind of stories you can't find in guidebooks. There's something magical about opening your home to strangers or being welcomed into someone else's life, even if just for a night. It's a reminder that the world is full of kind souls and unexpected friendships. I love the serendipity of it all – the laughter over shared meals, the late-night conversations about dreams and fears, the cultural exchanges that happen naturally when you’re just being human together. Couchsurfing, for me, is a way to keep the world personal and intimate in a time when everything seems to be going digital and distant. It's my antidote to the mundane.

Music, Movies, and Books

My heart beats to the rhythm of classic rock – think Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones, and a bit of Foo Fighters for good measure. Lately, I've been diving into jazz covers of rock anthems, and it's been a game changer. "The Best of You" by Foo Fighters with a jazz twist? Absolute magic.

I’m a sucker for films that leave you pondering life’s big questions long after the credits roll. Movies like "The Shawshank Redemption" resonate deeply with me, offering a mix of hope, resilience, and profound meaning.

My reading habits swing between the realms of business insights and philosophical musings. George Orwell’s "1984" has profoundly shaped my perspective on society and governance. On the flip side, I find solace and inspiration in the poignant storytelling of Khaled Hosseini, with his fictional narratives that tug at the heartstrings.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

During a camper van trip with my friends, I swam across the pristine Lake Königssee in Germany. The lake was completely empty, and the sun was shining brilliantly, making the experience surreal and unforgettable. It felt like I had the entire world to myself, surrounded by breathtaking scenery and the serene stillness of nature. It was a moment of pure freedom and connection with the natural world.

Another wild adventure took me on 20 flights in just one month across India. From bustling cities to remote villages, I experienced the vibrant diversity of the country from above and on the ground. Each flight was a new chapter, filled with unexpected encounters, cultural immersion, and a deeper appreciation for the vastness and richness of India.

Let's delve into deep conversations about philosophy and the big questions of life. I enjoy exploring different perspectives and challenging conventional thinking, so I'm always ready for a thoughtful and stimulating discussion.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can offer a slice of serenity with my spiritual learnings, whether it's through a calming meditation session or sharing insights from my journey into mindfulness. If you're a food lover, I can bring the flavors of India to your kitchen with some authentic recipes I've mastered. Imagine us cooking up a storm and savoring homemade dishes like fragrant biryani or spicy masala chai. Beyond that, I'm always up for deep conversations, sharing travel tales, and providing a helping hand with any household chores.
