Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Leave this world in better than I found it-one action at a time
ABOUT ME
Me in a nutshell: Creative, enthusiast, open-minded and determined guy. I like action and am always eager to experience new stuff. I am respectful of others and expect the same. I feel I discover a part of myself in every person I meet. It's great to be in that ever continuing journey of discoveries!
PHILOSOPHY
Passion is what drives this world. I want to experience it fully.
Time is just an illusion.
I believe people are wonderful, it's just a matter of giving them the opportunity to develop, use and share their immense potential.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
My first time CouchSurfing was in Mumbai, and it was simply amazing. I met fabulous people this way and I can't wait to continue meeting people this way. I now live in the Canadian Arctic and would love to host here. A trip to Turkey is also in the works for me so I'm excited to meet locals :-)
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
My best friend has been involved with CS for a while ad has had met wonderful people being a host in Montréal, Canada. They had outstanding cultural experiences and great chats she had with her guests sparked my interest into CouchSurfing. Looking to welcome people on my couch when I get my new appartment next year!
Interests
Into hot yoga, hiking, kayaking, karate, Jack Johnson, journalism, traveling, humanitarian projects and languages, extended coffees and re-thinking the world over a glass of wine. I'm interested in politics, economics, urban studies and philosophy.

Teach, Learn, Share
I love languages. I am always up to teach friends some English or French. I took Spanish for a little while, but pursuing Hindi actively at the moment. Maybe we can share a bit of language knowledge?
One of my belief is that people very often teach us things without noticing it. I think CS is a great opportunity to let that happen naturally.
