Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet interesting people. I'm not a regular participant in local meetups - just use it on and off when I'm traveling myself.

Interests

Travel, art (painting), reading (non-fiction mostly -- behavioral economics, sociology -- Malcolm Gladwell kind of books, travel literature, Buddhism, Psychology).

Music, Movies, and Books

All of them. I just love movies, as long as its quality cinema, I don't particularly care about the genre.

Same with music. With books, I do prefer excellent non-fiction. With fiction, I like page-turners, 'coz I don't have the patience for slow, long-drawn stories.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Swimming with sharks in Moorea. Quitting my cushy job to become an entrepreneur. Seeing two adult tigers together in Ranthambhore. Whitewater rafting in Rishikesh. Growing up in Goa. Honeymoon in Bangaram (Lakshadweep). Snorkeling for hours in Maldives. Solo trip through Ladakh. Solo scuba diving trip to the Perhentian Islands.

Countries I’ve Visited

China, France, French Polynesia, India, Maldives, Nepal, Netherlands, Singapore, Thailand, United States

Countries I’ve Lived In
