About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To make sure I'm following my heart... It always knows the way!

ABOUT ME

Simple - I love to simile and associate myself with others who allow me to.
The people that I associate within our society have to be free and have to be creative - not to destroy things, but to create things.
I'm a pilot & flight instructor by profession, I've quit my job a little while back and have been surfing ever since and just started my own company to hand shape longboards and surfboards.
Surfing has changed my life and now I'm trying to find a way to combine all the elements...

PHILOSOPHY

Live the life you love. Love the life you live...
I love to learn and then share my experiences, my knowledge with others. Life is all about taking what you have and passing it on, so perhaps, you leave back someone better.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Well, This is me just initiating Couch Surfing.
I'll like to participate by helping anyone who would like to connect with me to know more about India and about how to move about this gigantic country. I've got friends all over the coast, so I can always recommend and tell you what's up. At the same time, I want to travel the world, couch surfing across learning new things every day.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Wow, I've had a bunch as surfing has taken me all around my Indian coastline.
The most memorable and life changing has to be when I went to Orissa. I stayed in a beach-forest in a camp and somehow became part of them - Surfing Yogi!
Ending up living and working there for almost 3 years traveling between there and around the coast back and forth.

Interests

Photography and cinematography. Art and design.
Surfing or let's say the ocean. Yoga or just moving!
Working with tools, building stuff, repairing stuff.
Nature and it's fruits, oh and processed CANDY, yumm!

Music, Movies, and Books

Ermm.. Nature sounds, watching waves peel while the sun's rising - Who needs movies o ar book when you have that? But sure, I really enjoy music. It all depends when and where... Not so much of a reader though.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Been an aerobatic pilot. Nothing I know can compare to feeling 7G's... But then again, charging down a 10ft wave has a rush of it's own!

Teach, Learn, Share

Wow, my life is about teaching, learning and sharing.
So, I've been a flight instructor and surf instructor and really enjoy teaching.
There are many skills I've attained over the years, people have taught me different things, but trust me, I'm learning everyday myself. So there's always more to learn and share. If nothing, share a laugh or two.
Specifically right now, I would love to learn house and boat building, rock climbing and a little bit of farming.
