Indian living in the Netherlands and now in this part of the world to get my open water diving license. I jump off the flying planes to get adrenaline. Not cheap thrills;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Since I have known about couchsurfing, I have found the idea very humane. Like trusting unknown people and inviting them to your home and then suddenly saying goodbye becomes a hard thing to do (in most of the cases, definitely not all) all this has made me like couchsurfing even more. I have had some great experiences being a host as well as while being hosted. I believe, a local in a country can help with myriads of information and experiences that would otherwise be impossible or take way more time to find it on our own. I think hosting or being hosted is a supplementary thing that comes with convenience of a couch surfer. Reach a place as a traveler, return as a local.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Traversed entire India on my Motorbike covering around 30,000 kms in 3 months with no prior experience of long range driving

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach- I can help with basic Yoga lessons (Surya Namaskar, Panch Kriya), although I am not a certified trainer but have been practicing it since last 1 year.
Few Indian dishes, subject to availability of ingredients.
Learn- Would love to learn anything under the sun, which can make mine or someone's life better

What I Can Share with Hosts

I carry a big packet of Chai(Indian Tea) which I love to make in Indian style for my hosts. As, most of my European friends enjoy it and it is not readily available in their country, I try bringing to my Host's kitchen.
Also like exchanging books based on mutual liking and recommendation.
