ABOUT ME

Im a fun loving and out going person ! i thrive in social circles. Im a total outdoors person, i love diving, kitesurfing, windsurfing, sailing, Off Roading, camping, rock climbing etc... (the list is just too long!)

I love traveling and meeting new people ! I think couch surfing is a great concept and I'm excited to meet new people through it and share travel stories.

Im easy going, laid back, island mentality, after all i did grow up on one. I think i have a great sense of humor, i get along well with almost anyone and am able to adjust to situations and places.

PHILOSOPHY

'We travel, initially, to lose ourselves; and we travel, next, to find ourselves. We travel to open our hearts and eyes and learn more about the world than our newspapers will accommodate. We travel to bring what little we can, in our ignorance and knowledge, to those parts of the globe whose riches are differently dispersed. And we travel, in essence, to become young fools again — to slow time down and get taken in, and fall in love once more.'

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Im pretty new at this, been living in Cairo since 2010 and I've already had a fantastic experience with CS and i would love to explore it further and even contribute as much as possible. I love travelling and i know how difficult it is to make that first step and start. CS really really makes it so much more easier and such a pleasant experience.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Not much thus far. But looking to change that !

Interests

Extreme sports like diving, windsurfing, kitesurfing. Camping, hiking and basically any sort of adventure count me in !

I just graduated from the American University in Cairo. Majored in Accounting and Economics.

I love to meet new people and share travel stories and show people around cities i am familiar with.

Occasionally i don't mind staying in with a good book or perhaps a good movie! But mostly i prefer to spend time on the beach, especially in Dahab on the Rea Sea ! And my beautiful island home Sri Lanka.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

After the 2004 Tsunami hit my home country, Sri Lanka, i was involved in numerous rescue and aid missions across the costal areas that were hit. I realized then how fragile life is, but also the state of certain people in my own country. I was touched by the fact that people who had lost every thing they had including loved ones could still manage a smile through all their hardships. I then truly realized that my troubles were nothing and there are people living in worse conditions and with bigger problems. And today i embrace each day and try to help as many people as i can along the way always with a smile !

Teach, Learn, Share

I love learning languages and am proficient in quite a few. I have experienced many cultures and ethnicities and can share insight on them. I enjoy the sea and strive to teach others to respect and protect this very precious resource and the life within it.
