TL;DR: Amsterdam based global nomad. Slayer of stereotypes, good listener, well travelled and mostly sensible. Often cheerful and fun but sometimes silent. If you believe in any kind of racial supremacy, please don't send a couch request. Sneaky behaviors will result in declining any couch offers without explanation (Ex: swapping with a friend/sister/cousin and all that bullshit). I am not here for validations or approvals, keep that shit to yourselves. If you've voted for Wilders/Trump/Erdogan/Brexit, please find another host.

--- Long version ---

Loves to meet new people, listen to stories and appreciate the world's cuisine. I have met several couch surfers from all over the world using CS hangouts and hosted few folks. I've always learned something or the other from everyone.

Strong believer of
- The more of our world we see, the richer we become
- People are trustworthy, until proven otherwise.

Egalitarian, non-judgemental listener, rationalist, left liberal, minimalist, story teller wannabe, and just a human after all.

I work fulltime on all weekdays, you can be in the apartment when I am around. I can not hand over the keys.

I live in a 1bedroom apartment, you may use the couch. I have additional pillows and blanket. If you are taller than 5'9"(175 something cm), the couch won't be very comfortable, but it will still work.

I lived most of my time in Dubai, UAE. Worked for a very popular airline for almost a decade. Feel free to ask me about civil aviation and/or airline ops.

I don't mind a little pineapple on my pizza and I don't have an opinion on whether to use 'tabs' or 'spaces'.

I am highly allergic to stupidity. We will NOT go well if you are a
- Racist
- Believer of racial supremacy
- Trump/Erdogan supporter/sympathiser
- Flat earth/chemtrails believer

- Anti-vaxer
- Anti GMO
- Food Babe/David Wolfe fan
- Homophobic/transphobic or simply a bigot

If you have been offered a couch, don't wait till the last minute to say 'Hi' and find directions.
Let me say it out loud, 'your failure to plan does not constitute my emergency'.

I will respond to *ALL* requests with a Yes or a No within 48hrs and the same expected of you. If you sit on a couch-offer for longer than 48hrs, consider it gone. This is to avoid unfair hold&wait scenarios and to ensure fairness to the rest of the CS clan.

All requests are processed on a first come first served basis. It is OK to change your mind but please communicate like a grown-up.

When a couch is offered and you try to game the system in any manner, you're OUT and I owe you ZERO explanation; even if you have a profile since 1969 or Leonardo Di Caprio endorsed you.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Stories from Asia, Middle East and Europe, especially from Dubai and Amsterdam. Anything reasonable that you wish to get from Amsterdam (How about some of the world famous Old Amsterdam cheese?) and that can pass through the green channel of your home country's border.

Please don't ask for the 'herb' 😂
