CURRENT MISSION

See more, do more, love more......

ABOUT ME

I don't like describing myself. Rather I enjoy seeing others describe me positively or negatively. That gives me some idea about those people too, as what features of mine they concentrate on is a clue about what they value in life and how they possibly are.

PHILOSOPHY

Enjoy life while respecting the others doing the same

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

After over two years of cs experience I'm more excited than ever in this project. I have mostly been hosted by wonderful hosts during this time rather than I hosted people myself, because I've been extensively travelling like a nomad. However, I've also tried to host as many people as I could when I was at home and have enjoyed it equally. Couchsurfing in any way is just my thing.
