Hello! Namaste! Hola! Hallo!🏽

I am a mountain and "people" lover. When I travel I love to get to know people, their families, their life stories and experiences and am always up for trying new things. I love a hard hike, mountains can be my thing. I thrive in a society with diversity and appreciate a simpler way of living. I am keen on learning about cultures and customs that are different than my own and definitely believe that life is something to explore and experience firsthand.

I love couchsurfing as a community because it connects me with people, people I had no idea existed, people like me, people unlike me, people who inspire, people who get inspired, people with different perspectives breaking all the stereotypes and limitations.
I like to run, not away from anything, but towards something new, something which throws new situations and new routines at me, something which makes me see how conditioned my mind is.

Well, I am(not) as philosophical as I sound here, let's meet to share some thoughts and time. I love singing for no reason and dance sometimes on the streets.

I prefer socialising on a sofa at home or in a cafe than in a loud bar.

I have not been able to host a lot because I have been on the move continuously since some years and did not have the chance to do it. Sometimes my living conditions did not allow me to. Now I live in a shared apartment where not everybody is ok with the idea of CS.

I hardly write at theadventuresdejojo.wordpress.com

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It is definitely a very good way to get to know people and listen to their experiences. I have made some beautiful friendships through couchsurfing. It shows that empathy, love and trust exist in this world. To share stories, to listen to stories. To be able to tell people that the world is mostly full of beautiful and kind people. To make traveling possible for everyone. To exchange couches.
To share food, laughs, talk deeply about life and live in the moment.

Interests

I like to observe a lot. I like to do one task at a time. I cannot listen to music and work at the same time, which could be bad but I like it that way. I am a trekking/hiking enthusiast,
I love reading anything about philosophy. And I like to share some random thoughts with strangers I meet. I like to play cards/board games, watch movies. I can actually travel and just have talks with people and not visit any places which a person should visit. So I guess I am also very interested in the stories and experiences of other people. I meditate(would like to do it more often)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you to sing like this "badambadambadam babam !!!". And I can contribute to discussions on almost any topic. I can teach you to laugh for no reason and some Hindi too

I would like to learn to do front flips, back flips, hand stands and head spins. I am keen to learn about eco construction.
I would like to learn about different pedagogies.

I think I can share some interesting conversations from my travels so far! I can share some cultural talks from India and maybe some souvenirs from India(if I am carrying them with me)

Every small talk about traditions, culture, religion, people, children, food. Usually, I love sharing thoughts about many topics.
