An open minded person who loves to read, travel, explore, wander, and meet people!
Travelling to stereotypical "sightseeing spots" aren't my favourites, for I like to blend into the culture, festivals, and cuisine that the location has to offer. I am a nature+adventure enthusiast and you can count me on any cycling, hiking or rowing trips. I always believe in this quote "Maybe the best moment of your life will be on your next adventure"
Lately, my hobbies have expanded to Photography and Rowing. Sports has been a constant in my life. I go by the principle of "Healthy mind requires a healthy body". Started off with Athletics (Sprinter) back in school, and played football and basketball en-route. Coming to the Netherlands and seeing people row daily inspired me to take up beginner classes. Rowing has become a regular routine for me in the past few months.

NOTE: I live in Delft (12-15 minutes by train from Hague or Rotterdam).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

A friend introduced me to Couchsurfing. His amazing experiences inspired me to join! I am hoping to meet fascinating people during the course of my journey to different parts of the globe. Personally, I like networking and it is my belief that stories and enthralling experiences of fellow travelers stimulate me to engage in new adventures. In the end, I wanna be a storyteller as well, inspiring people to explore and expand!
