Someone who likes to travel for the sake of traveling. One of my favorite quotes about travel is "I love to travel, but hate to arrive". I like spending a good amount to time at a place. See, assimilate and explore as much as I can, make some friends and then come back to the same place sometime later.
As much as I love things that are new, I'm not bored by old or the familiar. I love to experience things a place can offer and maybe learn a thing or two. As a person, I like to help as much as I can. And I always try to learn the language if I'm at a new place.

Honesty is of paramount importance to me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to meet open-minded people and make friends. If you are in India and need some help with getting around or getting to know the people, I could help. Also, if you are looking for suggestions (places to visit, experiences, getting hold of outdoor equipment and stuff), feel free to reach out to me.

Interests

I cycle and swim regularly, I have been into bouldering for a while (not really good at it). Once in a while, I do trail runs. I love to take long breaks, at least twice every year and travel for a while. I'm passionate about making things and my overall ambition is to do something good in this world.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love classical music (both eastern and western). Oriental instruments and flute music. I do play a little guitar. I can listen to country music for an eternity. I love movies based on books and have a thing for movies based on cooking or standard romcoms. I love things connected to Sherlock Holmes and Nerdy tv series.
I read fiction and nonfiction and nowadays spend a lot of time on travel writing. I like western perspectives on Indian culture and nuances.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I do impromptu road trips and cycle trips.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love talking about food, a do cook ok. If you want to know a thing or two about the Gods, Myths, and sub-cultures in south India, we can talk. I'm no expert, but we can search for the answers together.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Please feel reach out to me if you need some help with things related to day to day engineering, cook Indian food with local ingredients. Clean and tidy up things. Paint and help with garden or things as such. And anything else. :)
