Current Mission

Travel Across Europe and take in its beauty

Just moved to Berlin, definitely looking forward to meeting new people.

About Me

Chatty - I love to converse. Any given topic, I would love to either talk or listen to others.

Also, I find it amazing that each one has his/her own perspective, so the same place could have given two people very different experiences. I love listening to these experiences.

Vegetarian - I don't eat meat.. But I don't hound others for eating it, which sadly, most people these days do!!

Student for life: Love learning new things, skills or just enjoy every new experience that I have.

Philosophies:

Some quotes that start playing in my head when I'm facing any situation:

“There are no strangers, only friends you have not met yet.”
― W.B. Yeats

"Be water, my friend" - Bruce Lee

When there's a Problem:
"Can you solve it?"
"Yes"
"Then why worry?Solve it!"
"What if I said No?"
"Then what's the point in worrying?You can't do anything about it anyway!"

"One of the remarkable things about life - it's never so bad that it can't get worse." - Calvin and Hobbes :D

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I first heard of the open and inclusive community from a friend and then visited one of the meets in Chemnitz. Found out that most people here are nice to each other, have interesting stories and also try new things in order to create more memories and thereby - more stories!! :)

I'm here to meet such interesting people, travel and share and have my own little experiences.

Interests

Me being on this website makes it apparent that I'm interested in travel and seeing new places.

Normally, I like to watch and sometimes play football. Listening to music,reading books and discussing topics ranging from poltics to science to philosophy are my other interests. At the moment I also play badminton, go bouldering or swimming pretty often.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music
Depends on the mood; but mostly classic rock/metal.
Iron Maiden, Beatles, Queen, Led Zeppelin to name a few bands

Movies
Secret Life of Walter Mitty, Forrest Gump, 2001:A Space Odyssey,
Nolan Movies and animated movies( Ice Age, Madagscar, The Jungle Book etc)
Also, a few "Bollywood" Movies :D

Books
HHGTTG - The most interesting book I've read,
