I love wine and it's hard to find in Varanasi. I will be only able to Host you if you can bring a bottle of wine to share or as a gift.

CURRENT MISSION

To stay fresh and engaged in life and with people from all over the world.

ABOUT ME

I am open-minded ex-hotelier and I used to work in 5 star luxury hotels. I like to organize my day to not have much free time, i.e. to self-love and give time to myself. Currently, most of my days are based on studying, reading books, listening to music, and watching films, playing bansuri, etc. I'm fairly well established life-wise and have the opportunity to host people as they travel through India. I'm at a point where I'm looking outward to explore the world through travel and through the eyes of those who are travelling.

PHILOSOPHY

There are really exceptional people from all over the world, and they aren't necessarily the ones you read about in the newspaper. Everyone has an interesting story and history unfolding as I write this.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Basically, I liked the idea of meeting new interesting people all over the world, and to share ideas and knowledge.
I hosted several surfers so far, guys from France, Germany, Italy, Slovenia, Spain, Argentina, Chile, UK... I also crashed several places and overall experience is amazing! My general belief is to equally host and surf, and to be as much polite guest or host as possible. I'd like to host and surf more, but the places I live are obviously not a touristic sites :P
Just kidding, but please don't ask me for a couch if you are not interested in meeting and knowing me, i.e. just because you need a place to stay. If you want just touristicaly to visit countries and cities (hence not to meet other people, experience and share other's beliefs, points of view, taste and enjoy local products, etc.), you have numerous travel agencies so ask them for help. Some of them are quite good actually :)

I would also highly appreciate if you bring something for me. May be a little gift, I love chocolate, I love free hugs or maybe just a bottle of wine to share with you. I'm sure you will figure it out.

Music, Movies, and Books

My absolute favorite movie is: Man lebt nur einmal - Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara. Couples sometimes say: They play our song. Here I say: They play my movie. It is so full of joy, truth, passion, it shows us how life is meant to be...

Other Movies: Into the wild, Little Miss Sunshine, Slumdog Millionaire, One Million Dollar Baby, The Usual Suspects, Best Exotic Marigold Hotel and all the Marvels movies

Music: Michael Jackson, Enaudi, Snatam Kaur, Pandit Ravishankar, Nahko, Green Day, John lennon and much more

I am cultural guy in general, with broad views on life, often mixing economics, anthropology, philosophy, history, geography, and other knowledge into discussing different issues. I really like to discuss and debate things, but not all the time, naturally sometimes I just like to drink beer and watch movies :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Don't know, I am trying to abandon that perspective on life. As Jarmusch would say "the beauty of life is in small details, not in big events"

Teach, Learn, Share

I am a life long student and practitioner of many types of healing practices like acupressure, foot and head reflexology, Ayurvedic oil and Shiatsu massage therapies.

I love gaining experience from people who are very open-minded, full of energy and enthusiasm for life. Would also love to meet more spiritual people, healers, photographers, musicians, designers, artists and trainers!

I am ready to tell you a story of Transformation.
