About Me

I am a friendly and open-minded person who loves to learn new things and challenge myself. I work as a freelancer for various clients. I enjoy creating beautiful and functional designs that communicate a message or a story.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m on couch surfing because I want to meet new friends from all over the world and share my culture and lifestyle with them. I also want to learn from other people’s experiences and perspectives, and discover new places and things. I think couch surfing is a great way to travel authentically and meaningfully, and to create lasting connections and memories.

Interests

I like music, playing guitar, cooking and local food in general, love to cook and try new recipes, especially from different cultures. I can make some delicious Sri Lankan dishes. And I like to spent time with interesting people and having deep conversation.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like deep house and love to enjoy any kind of music from different genres. I also like watch movies, especially those that are inspiring, informative, or entertaining.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share local cuisine, nature around the house and wisdom of this place and village. Also advice from my life experience. I can teach you how to make some of my favorite dishes, how to play some songs on the guitar, or how to use some graphic design software. I also want to learn from you, such as your language, your culture, your hobbies, or anything else that you are passionate about.

What I Can Share with Hosts

We can be your guide in this area with my housemate. We do different types of tours and experiences. According to your preferences we can arrange the plan. Here are some of the options that we can offer you:

You will get to sample some of the exotic and delicious fruits that grow in our land, such as guavas, stone apple, pineapple, banana, jackfruit, orange, lime, etc. You will also learn some of the health benefits and nutritional values of each fruit, as well as some of the recipes and dishes that you can make with them.
