About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To reduce my carbon footprint

ABOUT ME

Hello, Bonjour and Namaste :)

Well, obviously the best way to know me is to spend some time with me but still I would try to describe myself.
I consider myself to be a quiet, caring, humble and polite person but I get all enthusiastic, excited and talkative while I am travelling or when I am with my friends or even sometimes with some crazy people :D
I feel really motivated and happy when I am with people who have travelled to a lot of places in their lives. I feel like knowing everything I can about their stories and their experiences.

Recently only I decided to travel alone and I can't describe how many happiness I found for myself. I am actually super punctual and like to plan ahead when it comes to travelling and I absolutely hate it when people travelling with me don't respect that. It's not that I don't like to travel with other people, in fact I love to have some company but not at this cost. I also discovered that while travelling alone, you have no option but to talk to people around you also known as a "Stranger" in this world and thus, I had the opportunity to meet some very interesting people. Also while travelling alone, I get to spend more time on things that I like and if I screw up anything, I have no one else to blame but me. That's the best thing about it.

My ultimate goal in life is to travel around the world and I also have a plan for doing that. Earn as much money as I can till the age I am fit for everything and then leave whatever I was doing to travel the world. (And always have some backup investment for myself in case I live long enough to see myself turn old :P )

I am always in a search for something that I have not done before. It can be anything ranging from a new place to hike, a new cuisine or a new drink or even a sport.

There are three things that I absolutely can not live without :-
1. My friends and family
2. Regular hikes in the mountains or any other place that makes me feel closer to nature
3. Meeting and knowing about lives of interesting people and sharing travel experiences with each other.

And of course food, water, shelter and some music :D
Can't survive without them either

I also like to go to parties for as long as I don't have to dance. I really suck at dancing. So for me a good party is = People I Know(who can dance :P)+Drinks+Long Conversations
But a great party is when we are joined by some crazy friends of friends of friends and everyone's up for shots :D

Also I have recently learned to cook some Indian food as well :D

PHILOSOPHY

I follow no religion but I respect everyone who has one. For me, there is someone up there always taking care of me. I don't have any gender or name for that entity but I consider it to be my protector and a friend. I like to call it just "God". I have a happy life surrounded by some really wonderful people and I am thankful for that because it is no less than a miracle for me to be born to live a life like this :)

I have also tried to present some of my thoughts in quotes :-

1. One life is simply not enough to see this beautiful world
2 Education is the best gift for mankind as long as it doesn't destroy your Imagination and Creativity
3. 1.01^365 = 37.78 whereas 0.99^365 = 0.02. It all depends on how you choose to live your life
4. From each person you meet, try to incorporate atleast one good quality in you. It's the easiest way to become a better person than you are.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

1. Scuba Diving in Sri Lanka despite being afraid of water

4. People I met while travelling and couchsurfing
