About Me

*** Living in a sharing house, can't host at the moment*****
I love meeting new people and understand their lifestyle and culture. It is really interesting to know how people live in other countries, their day to day activities. Whenever i find time, i try to travel to to explore new places. I love photography although i dont like carrying big dslr camera as an extra luggage. I am fun and outgoing person but not very extrovert; it takes a little time to be very friendly with someone.

One of my biggest dream is to have one friend from each country, and to know the country through the eyes of my friend. I love cooking different foods by watching youtube videos ( although i mess up most of time as per my mother and my friends). I am fond of running , hiking and any other sports activities.
My Philosophy in life is to help others without any expectation. Expectations only bring sadness if it's not met. be polite, respectful and help others, you will get return in someway or other!!
I believe that 'Opposites attract'. So i think it is really not necessary to have a common interest. Rather, if the interests are different , then there are much more things to learn and share.
I believe a Hug can solve any problems between people !!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I was introduced to Couchsurfing in 2013 by one of the travelers i met in my city. Since then i met many wonderful persons from different parts of the world. It is really amazing to learn about different cultures. Most of the time time i receive my guests in train station or airport, and i can see the joy and happiness in their eyes when they see someone is waiting for them in an unknown city or country.
Till now i have good and crazy experience with all my guests and i am sure lot more to come in the future.

Interests

Traveling is my first and foremost interest, but i have a plan; until i get a chance to go abroad, i would like to visit as many places in India, as i can(on the right track until now). And then comes running, i love running. i have already finished Half marathon (21.1 km) and next target is to complete a full. I love collecting postcards from different countries, and through this also i became friends with some nice people.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: any soft music, except hard rock.
Movies: Forest Gump; any hollywood thriller,or comedy or romantic movie
Books: I am not very fond of reading books, but i love reading magazines, and at times i read a lot, varying from different topics.
TV Shows: I am crazy fan of Game of Thrones . other than this: Breaking bad, Prison break, 13 Reasons Why. ( i try not to watch more as i get addicted and waste time )

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

1.Spend 10 days without any electronic gadgets, in a village, with people from different countries., with complete vegan food(i am hard core non-vegeterian)......but that ten days changed my life.

Teach, Learn, Share

One thing i would really like to teach others is moral values, i think it is really on the verge of decreasing rapidly. Well i am not pessimistic, but this really concerns me.
I believe there is always something to learn from everyone. And i do follow this.
Sharing is caring. I once attended a sharing a session with unknown people, and the outcome was tremendously positive.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my travel stories with my hosts. My cooking skill and i promise not to mess up. If you are free to hangout, we can have a dinner together and its on me!
I love talking about any topic. So it does not really matter whether we have same interest or not, we can always share our knowledge and stories.
