About Me

I am currently working as a Senior Software Engineer, an aspiring traveller (hopefully my music career would take that off the ground lol); and an aspiring writer too. I just love human history as a subject and want to explore the different sides of the world. From Cambodia to Sweden, from Congo to the US; i want to see it all.

I make electronic music and have an active soundcloud. Have met a lot of travelers through Couch Surfing meetups (Oh and without too!) I am learning to play a 7 String guitar, and I LOVE to play tennis. I can play this sport ALL day long!

I love stand up comedy and have done some open mics, I have done stage performances as a bass guitarist and I'm into DJing. Bought a Numark pro from my internship money. Want to try something in my life that gives me that competitive, masculine thrill and at the same time the calm, peaceful vibe that every traveller emits.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet like minded people, who want to meet like minded people.

I loved this idea. I have a friend who introduced me to this concept, and he usually hosts Russian and Chinese guests (The good ole BRICS combo) and he had amazing experiences and made great friends from this platform. I too have met tons of travelers through this platform and am in touch with a lot of them!

Music, Movies, and Books

Trance music (ASOT ftw), and progressive rock music.

Don't watch movies much, but waking life and Memento would be my top 2.

Books? Countless. King Leopold's Ghost, Think and grow rich, Outliers etc. etc. etc.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I did a difficult trek by myself, and walked along having no supplies other than a water bottle and I wore tennis shoes!

Teach, Learn, Share

Life is not black and white, but fifty shades of grey.

Expreriences should be deep, not long. If they don't have a deep emotional impact on you and your personality (in a good way), they mean nothing. Also, travelling>>>>>>>>tourism.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I usually have my instruments along with me, so we could jam together and have a great time!

I also have great knowledge of history and different cultures. I read a lot (and extensively) about psychology, philosophy and famous/classical fiction. I have books like The Brothers Kamarazov and SlaughterHouse 5 in my library, so rest assured on some amazing recommendations for great books coming your way!

I'm a musician : Have a soundcloud, and a guitarist. And not just your average guitarist : I'm a djentleman! And our kind usually have 7 string guitars (yes they exist and OMG THEY ARE AWESOMEE), and 5 string basses (Have one of these too). I also have a ukulele which I love to play, and love to jam with travelers!

In addition, I'm a software engineer, and know extensively about Deep Learning, Computer Vision and Machine Learning (The stuff that has caught all the hype these days, and for a good reason). I can teach you more about it and can give an overview on it. Spoilers : It's easy peasy if you're good at math lol.
