Traveling on the road less taken is my passion and I love to interact with and learn from locals. For this reason, I find myself more a traveler than a tourist. I'm an International Politics graduate with interest in philosophy (post-modern), languages, economics and international law and I'm a polemic, so I often find tons of stuff to talk about. Having traveled in some conflict zones earlier, I have appreciated traveling as an art of a philosopher and now I'm seeking to write down my experience somewhere other than social media and blogs.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Through couch-surfing, I am seeking to interact with more people and increase my opportunity to learn more about the place I stay/visit. I love trying local delicacies, walk and drive around the town or places and see places of historic importance. Couch-surfing can provide a good medium to interact and learn.

Interests

I might sound nerd most of the times but I'm not. There is much more in terms of interest that I seek to learn and most of the times, you will be allowed to teach me new stuff that you like. I catch up with interests quite quickly.
