CURRENT MISSION: To do something I can be passionate about.

ABOUT ME : Pretty mellow. I love reading, photography, writing and traveling. I enjoy listening to people's outlook on life and their take on the world. It's a fascination with diversity, culture & life experiences. I support environmental causes, humanitarian action & animal rights. BUT I don't believe in forcing my beliefs/opinions on others. :)

PHILOSOPHY: I believe in activism and sustainable development. I think that for a society or a community to change and have progress, each individual has to do his/her part.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Learning about other cultures, meeting people, discovering new ideas/practices and hearing stories from other places and all walks of life through the Couchsurfers I meet.
