I'm currently exploring Bangladesh - country I was born. It's bit of a culture shock but I'm trying to adapt.

ABOUT ME

Always happy and energetic, you will rarely see me without a smile. I'm not fussy, and like to think I enjoy the best parts of life: music, outdoors, friends, family, food and mountain biking! I think I will never truly grow up, yet some people call me an old soul. I'm not afraid to be myself - I'll laugh loudly and ask questions. I do my best to just take things as they come and be content wherever I am; life is to be enjoyed no matter what is happening. I love to try new things, especially food and there's really not much I don't like, but I'm not afraid to try them once more. I'm usually out and about doing things instead of at home, and spontaneity is best.

PHILOSOPHY

Why not? Don't have a real reason? Then just try it.

Share and share alike...what's mine is yours and I enjoy it when that feeling is reciprocated. I don't require much personal space.

Everyone should be free to live their life and not impose their ideals on others. I believe in equality and social justice and I try to live my life as consciously and sustainably as possible.

What I want above all is to understand life from different perspectives... people of different backgrounds and with different goals all have something to contribute. I see many people surrounding themselves with people exactly like themselves and I don't want to be stuck in a rut.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Mostly I surf because I'm travelling a lot(spontaneous trips into the wild lol), but I'm always happy to host when I can.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I love the kinds of people you meet... there is a kind of shared hilarity and joy between CSers. CS has added another dimension to my travels; if you've been there, you know what I mean.

Interests

Volunteering, travelling the world. I love designing, engineering, music, and fashion and design. Languages didn't necessarily start out as an interest, they just happened... but they're a jumble in my head so forgive me if I'm slow and lapse into the wrong one.

Passion: Business strategy, renewable energy, and technology.

Personal Mission Statement:
To have fun in [my] journey through life and learn from [my] mistakes.
To create solutions for environmental, social and economic challenges.

My mantra: Working hard. Staying humble.

My values: Honestly, Integrity, Equality, Kindness, Compassion, Treating people the way you want to be treated, and helping people that are in need.

Music, Movies, and Books

Comedy, Romantic Comedy, Sci-Fi, Alternative, Rock and Techno/Trance, English Literature. Business and technology books. It's hard for me to list everything.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Competed in an MMA fight on a 3-day notice - catchweight bout! Not for a big name promotion like the UFC but for an underground unsanctioned organization. I got a lucky punch and that was the end of it. I'd tell you more if we meet... how did I end up in the first place. This isn't something amazing but really did pump my adrenaline.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you cooking(which I do rarely now as I travel for work), dancing(taking beginners salsa lessons), yoga (I'm not a pro lol), and am willing to share anything but my toothbrush.

Teaching or learning languages. I'd love to learn more guitar or any instrument, really.

Just ask nicely for a back massage and I'm happy to oblige.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am computer savvy and could help you with your computers. Even tho this is my 2nd year in Toronto - I still didn't visit everywhere - I can share tips, grab a drink, and get lost in the city. (I used to be a scout so you can count on me... incase we do get lost :P)

Countries I’ve Visited

Australia, France, Germany, India, Italy, United Kingdom, United States

Countries I’ve Lived In
