About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel. Learn. Travel.

ABOUT ME

I do not follow where the path may lead...I go instead where there is no path and leave a trail...I'm always excited by the unlikely, never by ordinary things...

Currently living in Stockholm but who knows where the winds take me next!

Have been travelling since I was a kid so it comes as no surprise that I chose a line of work which allows me just that.

Ive travelled a fair bit in Europe and South East Asia, where I lived in Shanghai for a brief few months.
My next aim is to visit the Eastern Block countries - one at a time.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry and narrow-mindedness...

Because it's a super awesome way to meet like minded people, learn and grow. :)

Interests

Yoga. Conversations. Coffee. Wine. Hiking. Philately. Squash. Tennis. Barbecues. Food. Recently I have been intrigued with spirituality, energy, lifemeaning, finding your path and your soul. For me, I find it important to work on personal growth, in which the I have come across the tantric path as potent catalyst. This and the law of attraction 'what we send out, we also attract in life', is the edifice on which my thoughts are based on. Live as conscious as possible and share this with others. I am a person who is hungry to learn, fascinated to learn more about everything that thrills me in life.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Biking at 18300 feet in Khardung-La, the highest motor able road in the world.

Teach, Learn, Share

Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood...

If you're going to try, go all the way.
Otherwise, don't even start. This could mean losing girlfriends, wives, relatives and maybe even your mind. It could mean not eating for three or four days. It could mean freezing on a park bench. It could mean derision. It could mean mockery--isolation. Isolation is the gift. All the others are a test of your endurance, of how much you really want to do it. And, you'll do it, despite rejection and the worst odds. And it will be better than anything else you can imagine. If you're going to try, go all the way. There is no other feeling like that. You will be alone with the gods, and the nights will flame with fire. You will ride life straight to perfect laughter. It's the only good fight there is....
Charles Bukowski ( Factotum )

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can offer you stories from my travel experiences and lot of engaging conversation. Generally, I cook at least one traditional Indian/Swedish meal
for my hosts.

I prefer to host unconventional travellers with a free spirit & willing to share my different lifestyles and interests...
