About Me

PHILOSOPHY
'There are only two mistakes one can make along the road to truth; not going all the way, and not starting' - Buddha

CURRENT MISSION

Struggle..survive and then succeed.

ABOUT ME
À bit sportive by nature I spend my time after work Running /Bike or gym. I prefer passing my time in forest/mountains than a city

I've come a long way in life ,experienced a bit of change in culture/ language from a small town in the outskirts of Mumbai and currently based in Clamart ,Paris region

I would say the past three years in life have changed me , and a part of it I owe to couchsurfing helping me understand the world better.


I came to france around 6 years ago , spent a year and half in Nantes . Then I was living in Paris , just recently moved to Versailles .and now I'm in toulouse.

Well usually I get along with anyone, doesn't take much time .

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I hope to surf more and host people and be a small part of the ever increasing couchsurfing community.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

The experiences I had were always awesome. You get to know the city from a local person's point of view which is what I used to miss when I used to visit cities.
Couchsurfing has enhanced the experience of travelling to different cities.

I listen to David Bowie, Guns N Roses , U2 , Arctic Monkeys , Oasis, Greenday, Eric Clapton ,Sigur Ros, Coldplay, , Radiohead and similar music.I even like Charles Aznavour and jacques Brel's music. It keeps on changing as time goes.

"Into the wild " - a movie which still inspires me.
The Godfather and Leon the professional are by far the best movies I have ever seen and maybe I will ever.Scarface ..Fightclub. .Cast Away ..Pianist ..Casablanca. .the schindler's list are my favorites.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Till now being at an altitude of 5100m at Roopkund in Himalayas is the best thing I have done.The view from there was amazing which was worth the trek.
I have hitchhiked almost 10000Km in Europe, met many people on the way , came back with lots of good experiences.
