Overview
About Me
Namaste, India is known for its warm hospitality and people who are friendly by nature. Having worked 15 years in the charity sector , l can interact with people from all strata of society and able to gel into any environment. I was a athlete and played ping pong (table tennis) at a professional level (still play twice a week). I believe great things can happen together if new generation can connect. I enjoy visiting historical places and going to beaches . Calm and friendly by nature, I prefer to be in the company of people who like to talk as I am a good listener. Indian men are great companions in friendships . I like going on trips and spending time with family and friends rather than just living alone and spending time alone away from everyone .
Philosophy- Unlearning and Relearning,,,,,,
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
The best part of travelling is meeting new people, - particularly locals . I am a ambassador of my country and understand the responsibilities associated when a new friend is lending a couch to crash. The feeling is fantastic as there is new learning and you go back with sweet memories. When we share stories, perspectives and listen to stories and hopes of others it just helps to build stronger multi cultural communities.
