About Me

ABOUT ME:

I'm an apolitical cosmopolitan chap enthusiastically discovering more of myself by traveling far and wide and hooking up with strangers. My persona is kinda happy-go-lucky, super jovial and super social. I'm a broad and open minded person earnestly interested in cultural exchange and I do am an extrovert though love traveling solo many a times.

To the core, I'm a travel freak, wanderlust, or what ever you call for that sort and consequently have undertaken umpteen journeys. I like traveling simply by any means and you can see me traveling by public transports, pedaling, wayfaring, motorcycling, hitchhiking and probably many a times as a solo.

Nothing excites me as much as traveling to new destinations and meeting strangers. And to me life isn't worth living sans freewheeling and very few are as broad-minded and adaptable to any circumstances as an avid hardcore traveller.

Ultimately, quite often I get bitten by the travel bug..and there I set off irresistible, apparently beckoned and wooed by the nature to her ravishing beauty and unending wonders.

TO MY GUESTS:

I love to be a great host for the same reason I love others be one for me when I'm on the roads. When you are my guest, just tell me what (whatever) and whom (whoever) I want to be for you and voila! you get that as far as I could get that for you humanly. I simply love that!!

If time permits and quite often it will, I feel privileged to pick up and drop off my guests. With my guests, if and only if they don't mind, I love to strike conversations for hours on end on any subject beneath the sky or even that of above ;-).

I'm of the conviction that the more one travels to new places and the more one meets new people, the humbler and humane he becomes; as that is what traveling made me.

On weekdays, when I'm not found on the roads, I'm a chronic workaholic. For that matter, I prefer to host during weekends or holidays, when I'll usually be free from busy official chores, so that I can take my guest around and spend time with them. But the guest's preference prevails and I am always happy to host any day otherwise, if the guest don't feel bad of me for not spending much time with them.

TO MY HOSTS:

Being a minimalist, I easily fit in most of the places I'm put in to. And while traveling, I always prefer staying with denizens, how inconvenient they or i may think that stay would be for me; as I see hotel stays boring and almost same everywhere on the world. On another perspective, If a denizen can't host me I would even be excited, if at my expense, he could hang out, take me to local socio-religious events, have a dinner, or even have a cup of coffee together.

When someone host me at their home, if we together are not having local cuisine cooked at home, I would be more than happy if my host don't deter me from paying for the dinner we have from outside.

I always travel light and am always a minimalist.

**After all don't get confused by everything I blabbered above. I'm a simple guy and you won't know it until you get to it.**
