"Everything that kills me makes me feel alive"!! - This is me! :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To help out a traveller who has come to my city is my responsibility. To ensure he/she has a great time and enjoys the visit is almost like a passion.

While travelling to places my main idea is to spend as much time as possible with the locals - to know how they cook, how they lead their life, their perceptions, hear tales of their grandparents over some local wine. This I would love more than any city sightseeing or grand shopping.

We can go to thousand places, spend a lifetimes earnings but "Happiness is real only when shared" and I would like to share my travel days with you.

Interests

Travelling happens to be my present crush, and I guess I am planning to take "this one" into future :p

I like adventurous activities such as hiking/trekking/camping/marathons

Indulge myself into Yoga/Badminton/Swimming

Cooking once in a while, while hosting friends.

Meeting new people, with great experiences. Learning never exhausts the mind, and I am waiting to meet people with great stories and get inspired by them.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Gathering the courage to travel solo!

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: Indian dishes

Share: Tales from my place, talk about my country - our beliefs, culture and the mythological stories we are so much known for.

Learn: Would love to learn particular mannerisms of the locals - maybe a different greeting style or a particular song. Song/Dance/cuisine anything
-One dish which I can get back to India and cook for my friends
-Any one activity which I wouldn't have learnt if I hadn't been traveling (Ex. something like yoga in India...)

What I Can Share with Hosts

First things first: I love talking. A great conversation is like a fresh cup of coffee for me. It cleanses my thought process. Waiting to be inspired :)

-Tales from India - the epics.
-The bit of Yoga that I know
-Some Indian dishes they would wanna learn
-If time permits, my hosts can join me in my planned activities. A change for anyone - is a GOOD GOOD thing.
-My travel experiences

And if things flow well - A lifetime friendship!
