About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Adventures through meeting people and learning about alternative lifestyles

ABOUT ME

I love reading, have a Ph.D. in social science and love understanding deeper elements of the culture. I enjoy describing it to others too. I have decent English Language skills too. I also love debates like socrates used to, even though it makes people a bit uncomfortable. I like to ask What if.... For example......what if all bearded Muslims ARE NOT TERRORISTS? What if children were human beings with the same rights and privileges as others?

PHILOSOPHY

If you knew you had a serious disease and have only one week to live.....what would you do? The answer SHOULD BE "exactly what I am doing". Thats my ambition......cos we really dont know how much longer we have.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have now relocated to Kerala, mostly Cochin or Kochi as I call it. Yes I do have a couch in kochi AND one in kottayam. I cant say where I would be at any given point, write to me and we can figure it out.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couch surfing is where I make friends and I have met some fantastic people already.

Interests

Spirituality, Mysticism, Culture, Positive Psychology, MY MOTORBIKE, hearing about different people different lifestyles. I love story telling - beer (inseparable, i guess).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

1. Traveling Minnesota with a co-traveler who was going back to the place where she grew up, imagining life as it was 40 years ago, visiting the cemetery to visit her relatives.

2. Getting lost in a neighbourhood in California and finding out NO ONE spoke English (or Americanese...depending on how you want to call it)

3. Taking a bus load of children on a local tour and showing them just how much of their own world there is that they don't know about

Austria, Switzerland, United Arab Emirates, United States

Countries I’ve Lived In

Armenia, India, United Kingdom
