About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel. Explore. Click. Think. Write. Learn. Connect. See. Experience. Know.

ABOUT ME

I like to travel and see places and meet new people with varied thoughts and opinions.
I feel we have lots to learn from each and every person we meet.
Travelling allows me to see my country with a new perspective. Music is my other passion and i love to play the guitar and learning to play the harmonica too.

I live in Berlin, where I am a student and work part time.

PHILOSOPHY

There is one thought which i had read in a childrens comic long back.It was said by Dalai Lama: Be kind because everybody you meet is fighting the battle of his life.
This thought has forever inspired me to be the best i can be :)
I like to capture people,faces,expressions,children through my camera.I also believe that Photography has the power to bring about social changes.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

China,Thailand,Andamans,Canada,Rocky mountains,the northern lights are on the top of my list.
I want to open my Bachelor's pad to all travellers who would like to spend some time in Berlin and accompany me and my friends on the weekend trips of exploring the city,its places and food.
