I am a very quiet but talkative once I get to know you kind of person. I love to sleep, think, and learn. Don't we all. The most important thing about me is that I am a very curious person. I want to know and learn as much as possible. I might not be a great cook but once I get things right I can really cook. I am very good with computers. I am also good with myself. I used to be bit of a loner but now I am social and also I can be a loner at some times. In a way I am cross-breed between an extrovert and an introvert. But I am a person who always values kindness and humility within myself and everyone else. I hope you will like me once you get to know me. Love is the most important thing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to travel the world. Meet new people. More or less a little give and a little take type relationship. I want to help people and I want to learn from other people. In a way I want to expand my field of view of the world instead of just seeing things through the eyes of television. Couchsurfing seems like an interesting venture to move forward in this direction. I hope you all understand why I share this curiosity. We all want some adventure in our lives, well at least most of us and we all want to know the world through our own eyes. I am here for the same reason most of us joined couchsurfing for.

I also would like to help out with any ngo work. If anyone needs my help I am ready to volunteer anytime. Because I feel we all need to help this world heal especially after covid and this economic crisis going on. I am ready to help anytime to make this world a little better.

Interests

I love reading books, I love playing video games and I love to meditate and think about philosophy and how all of us are interconnected. One of my most important topics of introspection is depression and why we are so afraid of the negative. I also love to sleep because it allows me to clear my head and see the world with a clear mind. Sleep has to be for 8 hours, no less. I love to hike and walk a lot. Travelling is one of my interests as well. Even human psychology is something I find very interesting.

I also love studying martial arts. Fighting techniques of all kinds are welcome and would be interested if you could teach me.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

-I have gone without sleep for 3 days and ended up sleeping for another 17 hours after that (big mistake)

-bungee jumping at bloukrans bridge South Africa

-Shark cage diving in South Africa

-Living in a remote area called Sumbe Angola where there is no city life for 2 years.

-Running 20 km everyday for a month

-Meditating for hours without feeling undisturbed

-Spending time at Lumbini (Buddhas birth place)

-climbing the Himalaya's 20000 feet above sea level without using an oxygen tank even though it was my first trek ever and I had zero experience in climbing.

-meditating from morning till night at Mahabodhi temple in Bodhgaya. One of the most peaceful and calming experiences I ever had in my life. I felt so serene and enlightened right under the tree where Buddha gained enlightenment.

-Enjoying the military parade at Wagah border with their shouting and enthralled and energetic stances.

-Studying Tibetan medicine in Dharamshala, Himachal Pradesh for over a month. Learned so many interesting things.

-Treating patients for free at Gurudwara Bangla sahib at Delhi. Because it feels good to help people.

-Eating some of the best falooda near Jama masjid. Great food there.

- Experiencing one of the most beautiful sunsets at Jodhpur. Really felt calming!!

-Doing a 10 day Vipassana retreat after my mother passed away. You cannot have your for phone or talk to anyone for 10 days. Just meditate from morning 4:30am to 9 pm and only breakfast, tea and lunch break. No dinner😔. But you are sitting the whole day so its ok. It was really difficult but I would do it again because of what it let me realise about life. One of the most eye opening experiences of my life!!!
