tl;dr

I'm strictly sapiosexual. I enjoy having intense conversation about philosophy, psychology and the change we can bring in this world. I strongly believe in exclusivity and consistency. I feel in whatever we do our actions and intentions should align.

Almost everyday i try to work on improving things around us that doesn't make sense like doors without push or pull signs or education. I feel education is source to any big change in this world.
Beside my passion to bring change. I love to code & design. If you wanna see my work, you can goto www.kishanthobhani.com

Love NPR some of my favourites includes 99% Invisible, How i built this, freakonomics podcast.

Things that breaks my heart includes Pollution, Mass Production, Corporations backed by Capitalist mindsets. I'm a strong believer of Circular Economy.

I often say to my friends,

"Is devil in the details or is devil the details"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I enjoy the exclusivity and how human, couch surfing is. Its very indie.

Last time when i couched surfed i was travelling to San Francisco. It was one of the best experience so far. I ended up staying at my hosts place more than we agreed upon. Later my host visited India and we travelled almost entire west coast starting from Goa in south to Amritsar in North and of-course everything in between.

This time i'm travelling to Eindhoven, Netherlands for work and my visit is tad-bit longer duration. So i'm wondering couch surfing can help me to be more inclusive to dutch culture and not just a tourist.
