About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I am really not sure how to start , but in this place I am looking to meet new interesting people and learn more about the world, my mission is to be able to make as many new friends and learn and travel as much as possible in foreseeable future.

ABOUT ME

Well this is bit difficult talking about myself, I have been called many things, cheeky, funny, silly, weird, but most of all a nice fun-loving kind person. My closest friends would be able to tell you more about me. I like good people and don't like mean and back-biters. I like to be relaxed and have the same kind of people around me. I am very sociable and can be bit silly at times. I have a bad habit of not being able to hold my tongue. I usually just say what I feel. I don't mean to be mean but just my way, don't like holding back things pretending to be nice. I am easy to get along with and flexible about things. I can make changes to certain rules if you are a really nice person.

PHILOSOPHY

My philosophy has changed a lot in last few years. Now I just live each day to enjoy, life is too short to worry about mundane things. Just go along and do what takes your fancy and live each day to the fullest. Future no point worrying about it just work towards it with steady steps and it will be fine. Whatever has to happen will happen. Just make sure to accept it and get on. Each day is a new day and we have to learn to enjoy it. hmmmm.. sorry gibbering on.. I can go on and on. :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

As you wish, if you want to be left alone, I will do so. I am happy to fit in with your wishes. I would of course need time for this in-order to organise my time and fit it around my work. If required can drive you to places and take you sight seeing. I would of course expect petrol expenses for this :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have had no experience at all, have just heard and spoken to people who have been and done it. I got into this through a friend who does hosting in India. She seems to host a lot and also goes travelling herself in India but along with other hosts/surfers I think. She said it is a lovely way of meeting new interesting people and making new acquaintances. I personally would love travel and feel this would give me opportunity to see how it works from both side.

Interests

I am interested in meeting new people, learn about their culture and home, learn different languages and travel the world.
I do enjoy outdoor activities and like to try anything challenging and interesting.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have done many things I feel is amazing, but the most recent one was going on a motorbike ride from Pokhara Nepal to Muktinath Valley at an altitude of 3,710 meters. The road surface is just rock and sand, very rough. I enjoyed every moment of it with pain and pleasure.

Teach, Learn, Share

I may have already mentioned this up there about my wish for learning languages and travelling.
I myself has different language and have travelled a bit so can help and give information if you want to travel to some of the places I have been to or about my home-places ( I consider Nepal, India and Scotland as my home), other than this I have travelled to Canada, France, Thailand & Dublin. Cooking is one of my hobbies, create my own ingredients/dishes. Bollywood/Nepali dancing another of my hobbies. I have a gardening space, if any of you love it and happy to give tips most welcome.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can offer private room with double bed, single bed, couch in living room. Make yourself at home as long as you tidy up after yourself please. 🙏
