About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Greece in September. And a mini India tour in-between. Have kickstarted it by staying in Goa for two months!

ABOUT ME

I think almost everything I do in life is sort of connected with my writing and with the hope of becoming a better writer. I "discovered" travelling in 2012 when I landed all alone in Paris for about six days. It was the most incredible experience and have not looked back since then.

PHILOSOPHY

That's easy. Live and let live.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Have not been much active on it so far. Giving it a fresh lease of life now.

Interests

I love blogging and micro-blogging on Twitter. Helps me connect with a lot of interesting people all around the world. I also am an obsessive collector of empty wine bottles and love to make collages on them. I watch almost any movie I can lay my hands on. I often wish I could read more.

Music, Movies, and Books

Too much stuff to list down. But I am a huge fan of Stanley Kubrick. Probably only director, at least according to me, whose each work is drastically different from the other. I have also read quite a bit by Haruki Murakami. I often recommend Sputnik Sweetheart to complete strangers. Currently reading Margaret Atwood's The Blind Assassin and loving every bit of it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I am almost always awestruck whenever I am at a beach. Sea surprises me each and every time I look at it. And possibly the only thing in the world which makes me completely lose myself. Also, I will remain proud of myself forever for going solo to Paris for my first ever biggie backpack trip.

Countries I’ve Visited

France, Malaysia, Spain, United Kingdom

Countries I’ve Lived In
