COVID UPDATE
As we all grapple with a pandemic that has changed life as we knew it, I am still interested in meeting and sharing spaces with people on my travels or in my city, as long as we can be sensible about basic safety/hygiene precautions. Like many others, I now work from home full time so I can typically host people only over weekends. Consequently, last minute requests will not work out because of this. I will still try my best to host friendly and respectful travelers and I hope to find similar hosts myself when I'm on the road.

CURRENT MISSION

Filling out every page in my passport (actually managed to accomplish it in 2016 so I am onto a new passport!)

ABOUT ME

Well-travelled guy here to see new places, meet new people and make friends around the world.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

Meeting people, making friends, trying new adventures and sharing stories

兴趣

My ideal job would take me to every country in the world and give me plenty of time to visit, explore its local culture, meet its people and make memories worth a lifetime. I haven't figured out who'd pay me to do such a thing but that isn't going to stop me from travelling ! I've visited 38 countries and hope to see several more. I love meeting people in new places, making friendships and peeking into their cultures and traditions that way. I am also keen on introducing people to my own culture so I'd be happy to meet people who have India on their travel plans.

Too many movies to list (I watch tons of movies from several countries and go to the theaters at least 3-4 times a month!)

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

Interesting stories from my travels, life experiences and of course my two ears and a spirited heart to learn and grow. I love to meet people from different cultures to share and exchange travel ideas.
