Right from when I was a young, I had this incessant urge to wander. As a small boy, I convinced my friends to make a small gang of little dudes on bikes exploring the forbidden trails. Remember, those weren’t the days of google maps or facebook or apps. Rather, we used to visit lonely lanes, abandoned parks and come back and draw a map of our daily hustle. Pretty much like Columbus eh? Years passed by and the gangs kept changing but that passion still remained inside of me. Of course, now I was an adult, programmed to not be reckless anymore. I had to learn to fear the unknown. I had to basically ‘grow up’ you know. And you know what? It Sucked!

Long story short, I am still a bit of a rebel. I still like to wander. I know it’s not that easy and I know I don’t have the ‘I am still a little brown eyed boy’ excuse to fall back on but, isn’t there a thrill in that challenge? And I am just trying to grab each opportunity with open hands and feet and my torso and what not man! Bring it on because like my fav song says “One day baby we’ll be old and think of all the stories that we could have told”

Have travelled to 16 countries since and yearning to travel to the rest!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

For the experience, to meet new people and get acquainted with new cultures.

Interests

Music, all kinds. I can absorb anything groovy but if you peek into my playlist you will find a lot of
HipHop, Dubstep, Chillstep, Trap, Deephouse, Downtempo, Electronica, Tropical house, Bored yet?

Sports, especially basketball and volley ball.

There is no exhaustive list really, but anything with a challenge is definitely a yes. Just good people and god vibes you know!

I am not even going to write traveling here. Instead ill just wait for someone to ask me if I enjoy to travel and then throw ‘that look’ and say, This is a traveler website, you know’ ;)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

People often preach as to how one should never follow the mundane, never simply get caught up in a rot. Rather people should have the courage to break free and start afresh.

Well, that’s really inspiring but I have learnt that timing is a bitch man! You cant get ahead of your game sometimes and there were times like these when I have done jobs I didn’t like, spent my time in places where I didn’t want to be, took order from people who I didn’t think we worth it just so I could eventually travel, live on my terms and escape the rot.

Sometimes you need to stay stuck in the rot and know when to break free than to use force and find yourself standing clueless.

Also, as a norm, I solo travel atleast once a year!
