About Me

There is nothing much to say. I think life unfolds in the present so I live in the moment and move on. I love listening to music, travelling, meeting new people, eating with them, reading books, and writing sometimes too is something I love. I think happiness is only real, when shared. Well I am grateful for this beautiful life, If I live for a good enough time I don't wanna have a feeling like I should have travelled when I was young or I should have done this or that so I try my best to spare some time for the things I love and travelling is one of them. When I travel I don't wanna stay in one of those fancy hotels, It should be rough and wild you know, I would hang out with local people,would eat with them. I love to cook especially when someone is hungry. I like different flavors of tea and going out on long walks.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I feel it's always a fun to meet new people from different places, you come to know about their culture, music, food, interests, and lot more. I met lot of people out of nowhere and they became good friends. One of them who is from Canada met me at an Indian coffee shop, and another guy from Switzerland met me at a bus stop while travelling to Himachal Paradesh, one met me in a school-she was from Germany and came to India to teach dance, one more guy from U.S.A who met me outside a gym. I cherish all those times spent with them to this very day. It's simply good to meet people you know so I'm on couchsurfing.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Started listening to myself :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach Maths, how to repair a bike, give lessons in Indian cooking, the local language

I would like to learn riding a horse, and some trekking skills.

I can share food, a room, lot of stories & experiences gathered over the years. I can go for a long walk with you.
Well If I had a shotgun,you know what I'd do. I'd point it straight at the sky. And shoot heaven on down for you.
-Sublime

What I Can Share with Hosts

Well I can share some space for sure and cook food for you, I mean at the end of a day all we need is food and roof, In return I don't expect anything but honesty.I can not say If I would take you around to show the places I know about but I can guide you at least and If I have time then I would love to travel with you. I can make different types of tea, share lot of stories, play chess and there are lot of problems in this world, we can discuss a little - who knows if we fix something together. Yes it would be nice to hang out.
We will see.
