I travel because I love to explore. I often wander from the set routes and that is where the magic happens. I am always more interested in the culture and the food of a place rather than the sites. I believe it is all about the experience; the more you experience, the more your mind opens, the more you learn to accept and that makes you happier.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To get to know the culture of the places I travel. I hate doing the usual "touristy things" and would rather prefer being introduced to the local food and the cafe around the corner. Plus there are so many stories out there waiting to be heard!

Music, Movies, and Books

Music. Listen to anything and everything. My preference for music is rock, blues and post rock. Led Zeppelin, Yes, Mogwai, Tame Impala, Pink Floyd...

Movies. Again, anything interesting. The Motorcycle Diaries, Dude Where's My Car, Andaaz Apna Apna, Leon, The Handmaiden, La Belle Noiseuse, Dunkirk, Gangs of Wasseypur...

Books. I am usually picky about my books. Tend to read either classics from various cultures of philosophically heavy ones.
