About Me

I'm from Australia and currently working as a Data Analyst, keen to get out and explore the world as often as I can get a break! My goal is to make as many amazing memories through my travels, and also make even more amazing friends along the way! This quote is something I strive to live by every day...

"Have stories to tell, not stuff to show"

Happy surfing guys!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Same reason as everyone else... make more friends! Absolutely love the idea of meeting people as I believe each individual has such a vast amount of experience from all corners of the globe, and some of the things I learn just by talking to people is mind-blowing!

I also enjoy talking to the locals, their knowledge of the area and love for the culture is amazing!

Interests

  • hip-hop music
  • adventure races
  • hitchhiking
  • travel
  • trekking
  • it
  • adrenaline sports

Music, Movies, and Books

First and foremost, Indian music is my biggest love. Tamil, Hindi, Telugu, Malayalam, Punjabi, Carnatic.. you name it!

Aside from that, I'm into my Hip-Hop and RnB and also guitar, piano and flute instrumental music.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Tough Mudder. An obstacle race that's 20km long and contains around 20 obstacles that range from swimming under ice to electrocution. And obviously as the name suggests, there's a LOT of mud!

I've done this course five times so far, takes a lot of will power to push myself though it and that's something I'm really proud of!

Teach, Learn, Share

As nerdy as this may sound, I can teach you the basics of coding/programming which seems to be a pretty cool skill to have!

Otherwise, while not exactly a 'skill', I love discussing global issues, hypothetical problems, and inventing ingenious yet outrageous solutions for them all.

If you know some phrases in the local language, I'd love to learn that.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A good... no, amazing conversation! I'd love to get to know as much as I can about my hosts, their experiences, funny stories, random chats about even more random things, deep and meaningful monologues, and the list goes on.

I'd also like to offer any help around the house such as some cleaning, organising, cooking (with a little guidance) and whatever else comes to mind! I just want to show my appreciation of you hosting me in a manner that you will appreciate!
