About Me

CURRENT MISSION

travel to every country in the world !!!

ABOUT ME

I like having a good chatter, exchanging funny experiences and love meeting people from different cultural and social backgrounds.I like to cook and learn other cuisines. Yoga, meditation and learning about the mind. Like a number of other things which I will leave people who cross my life to find out ;-)Last but not least I would like to share the following two quotes which has greatly changed my life:“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” - Mark Twain
“Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.” - Steve Jobs

PHILOSOPHY

Smile at everyone...cause hopefully that will make them smile back and put a smile on their face...last but not least help people in anyway I can...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Host people to get a broader understanding of different cultures, to help people out. Don't plan much so it's best to give a bell and who knows if around will definitely help....

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have had very good experiences and have met all kinds of people which is what makes this a brilliant platform. Occasionally there is a bad apple but that doesn't stop you from eating apple's right ??

Music, Movies, and Books

Music taste ranges from what my grand dad used to listen to in 40's to trans music that you listen when you are high and dancing in the same spot like in a party in Goa to the more subdued spiritual music you would hear in Rishikesh or Kathmandu...Read spiritual books on life, meditation self improvement and also not forgetting the lord of the rings type and Ramayana...Not very much a romantic movie person but like to watch movies that makes me think...complicated movies like Inception also light hearted action and comedies too.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The first time my flight instructor asked me to take the plane and do a take off and landing on my own (first solo)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach how to cook Sri Lankan cuisine which is quite spicy and somewhat close to Indian. Other than that it will be life experiences that I can share and there is a lot of it....
