About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Uncompleted and backlogged: Trans-Siberian and Samba Carnival.

ABOUT ME

Time to update this space.

Passionate about music and travelling and meeting people. My one dream is to get to make a friend from every single country in the world. That's coz I really dig learning about new cultures and I enjoy talking to people to get a sense of the way they think and feel and I try to link it to their upbringing, beliefs and values to gain a greater understanding and appreciation. And I must really mention how talking to some people opened up so much of my otherwise narrow scope of vision. They bring their amazing travel stories to me, shedding light on the social issues in places physically far from me. I thank them because of their education, I learnt so much more about the world we live in and managed to broaden my perspective. I love humans and I love differences which make us all unique and the world a more meaningful and interesting place to live in. And I am against ethnocide.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Not once with couchsurfing.com. But bunked into an apartment with a good friend's bro on my first trip to london. He was cool. Also bunked in with my friend in Shanghai which led me to know this other great gal-housemate of hers, whom I so adore.

Interests

Drumming! Performing with my bunch of hot sexy Samba musicians. Travelling. Getting to know people of various nationalities and sharing cultures and outlook. Learning Spanish. Would love to experience more of the Italian way of life.

Teach, Learn, Share

How about Bongos/Congas drum playing, I can teach that, some basics. I learnt the indian dhols and a little of middle eastern drumming at one time, so maybe someone can share further knowledge with me.
