About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Know the world!, Learn new languages

ABOUT ME

I am just a simple guy trying to make it through the complicated life.

Right now I am trying to build a life in Toronto, Canada and travelling around as often as I can. I explore various lakes, forests. I have been doing some sailing, paddleboarding, ice skating and soon planning to surf!

I wish to be a hobby pilot and now learning for it!

I can tell you stories of my adventures of my Eurotrip, show you my bird photography, cook delicious food for you, make cocktails and talk about my dreams.

I always like to try doing things in different way than what is normally done. I like to visit different places and experience new cultures and new ways to live life.

PHILOSOPHY

Not done something before? Should definitely do it now!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would like to meet travellers from all over the world and explore new places with them.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had couchsurfing experience with many hosts in Europe so far and it was better than what I expected! I was sceptical about the couchsurfing at first, but I am blown off by the experience so far!!!

I also used attend the weekly meetings in Wiesbaden. I made many new friends there.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Once walked continuously for 8 hours on a trek without rest!

I spend a week in a village in India and studied how people live their lives, it was just amazing. You will go through all kind of emotions when you see and experience the rural life in India. Here is the video of my visit that I made

Teach, Learn, Share

I always like to learn new things.

I am learning German and completed my B1 level. I can teach basic German and I would like to learn more from native speakers.

I like cooking and I am up for learning new dishes.
