About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Pack my bag and leave!

ABOUT ME

I am open to new ideas, love talking about life and its meaning. For me, life is about the experiences that you have every single day and it isn't about just milestones that you create.

PHILOSOPHY

Laugh, love and eat and all your problems shall cease!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I can hang out in Ann Arbor or possibly host as well.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've just had one so far and that was in Istanbul. Quite a pleasant one indeed!

Interests

I am an absolute movie buff, nothing makes a bad day better like a touching movie. Love reading as well, and enjoy a pint or two once in a while. I also have an amazing tendency to make a fool out of myself on the dance floor, however as long as I have fun, I don't really care.

  • dancing
  • reading
  • paragliding
  • languages
  • mountains

Music, Movies, and Books

If I put everything down here, I am not sure we'll have a lot to talk about over that beer :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I am not sure if I believe in God or not, I'd say I have always been agnostic and still am. However, in May 2012 I took a trip to Rishikesh with my best friends. While I spent the night staring at the reflection of the moon in the water of the River Ganges (Ganga), I felt that I was at an elevated level of consciousness and I literally thought I was talking to God. I have never felt so calm, serene and in touch with my inner self. I think what I realised though is that we look for answers outside while all that we should be doing is looking within. This by far is right up there in the top drawer.

A close second is when I conquered my fear of heights and soared up above at 6000 feet while paragliding in Pokhran, Nepal. The view from up above of the mountains and the Pokhran lake is still fresh in my memory.

Teach, Learn, Share

I absolutely love learning new languages and I've studied French in school for 5 years except I've had no practice since then, no one to speak French with so all of that possibly went down the drain and I can only muster up a few sentences while moving my jaw like I am chewing gum. Eventually, I hope to be fluent in French, German and Spanish.
