Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To live a life where I would always be happy in and love what I do. Travel and explore the world as much as I can, find love!
ABOUT ME
I am a friendly, straightforward and fun loving guy. I enjoy meeting new people. I believe in being an opportunist and live life as it comes. Enjoying every moment is essential. Positivism is important for me. I have traveled to different places till now and I enjoy the same. Adaptive by nature and always laughing and smiling on even the smaller things. Many people find it annoying or simply crazy, but life is all about the smiles/laughs you had or someone else had because of you.
PHILOSOPHY
LIFE is too short to wake up with regrets.
LOVE the people who treat U RIGHT.
Forget about the ones who DON'T!
Believe everything happens for a REASON.
If you get a SECOND CHANCE, grab it with both hands.
If it CHANGES your life, let it happen.
Nobody said LIFE would be EASY.
They just promised it would be worth it!
That is what I follow or believe in.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I am always ready to participate in events, parties, get-together, meeting up people, travelling. I like to make plans with people and help them with what I might know. As far as I know, people have known me as someone who makes it to be in , and, lives through such events or occasions. So for me CS is a combined experience which provides a new dimension to all of this. Living through it is how I would like to participate always.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I have had a few couch surfing experiences previously before joining on here. I have made a few friends over other social networks and went on and stayed with them or planned some holidays eventually. A very pleasant and lovely experience in particular was when I traveled to Portugal and lived with a friend I met on a social network. Most of these experiences have been amazing. It is great to meet new people when you travel to a new place and understand the place in an even better way. I am looking forward to share more such experiences.

Music, Movies, and Books
I am not much of a reader so I don't read a lot of books. I do sometimes if I find something which can relate to me or something very interesting.
I enjoy different types of music. I have variety of songs in my playlist. Whatever sounds good to me, I listen to it. So it really doesn't matter if its soft, rock, jazz, metal, loud, anything.
Same applies to movies. I cant list favorites as such since the list will be too big. I enjoy watching movies anyway. It is always refreshing to go to theaters.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
There are many things worth mentioning in this section. Since I am an Indian, I have seen almost all of the Southern and Western India. I have traveled a little north as long As Rajasthan. Being so multi-cultural and vast I have had great privilege to see different parts of this country. I especially love my hometown Kolhapur and Goa.
Apart from India, I have spent almost 4 years of my life in United Kingdom living in Newcastle upon Tyne. I have been lucky to see various amazing parts of England notably London, Manchester, Liverpool, Leeds. Also in Scotland I have visited Edinburgh, Glasgow.
I have also traveled to Portugal and seen parts of Lisbon and around it.
I have done quite a few amazing things such as paragliding, jet ski and different water sports in Goa which is awesome fun.
Bike ride in India when you are travelling is a great thing to do. try it if you ever can.
If you are interested in Hiking, trekking, camping then hiking and camping in Malhan, UK, is an amazing experience and I would suggest that place if anyone wants to go.
Cycle surfing in Cumbrae, Scotland is another amazing thing to do.
Visit Sintra near Lisbon in Portugal if you travel there since it has got lovely castle and forest walk.
I have had my first tattoo in UK, and would like to have some more if I can and if I get something nice.
I have also done some photography out of hobby and would like to explore more in it.
Teach, Learn, Share
I would like to learn more in photography and things associated with it. I also love dancing and know a few bits and pieces of it. I would still like to learn something more professionally when possible.
I like to share life experiences, writings, and new ideas. Knowing the world through different people from different parts of it would be fun and it is something I would like to do more.
