Overview
About Me
An engineer by Degree, blogger/writer by decree, designs and visual arts enthusiast, IT service provider and freelancer.
So that pretty much sums me up, but I guess I love, LOVE, making videos and have a handfull of videos to prove my work as well.
Other than that, I have a wierd affinity to draw people I admire. I give people digitally hand drawn paintings of them. It just gives me genuine joy looking at the smile on their face when they receive it.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Ok, so to be quite honest, I never knew about couch surfing when I traveled before. I always said I wanted to meet locals but never really got to do that.
And to be honest I thought couch surfing was like airbnbs, I know now it's different but even when I didn't, the thought of living with locals and mingling with them seemed so epic.
I just want to meet as many people in each trip as I can.
Interests
A paradox of a personality makes me interesting in ways I never thought I'd be. An engineer who loves and earns through not circuits or machines but visual designs, coding and crafts.
I guess since I've started my own business by getting only a little help from others, I love helping others for it, from web development to deisngs and visuals; and this is basically how I also earn from what I love. I've also had the opportunity to Direct two Indie films, one of whom won a national award.
Now, since I work in a different field altogether, rather than filmmaking; I mostly do videos for my YouTube channel and as a hobby. ;)
Summing up, I guess I would say I'm a science student who loves art and uses his right and left brain. ;)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Rope climbed between two mountains.
Teach, Learn, Share
I love, love learning new languages and capturing visual elements in my videos, photos and digital art, and I guess this is the best experience I've actually always shared with other people.
Plus ever since freelance development came into my life at a very crucial time, it showed me how I can earn from what I love. I've ever since become a champion of encouraging people to do what they love and supporting them in it.
Doesn't matter if you love taking photos or making videos, learning new stuff doesn't always need to be a challange, it's a journey, which I'd like to be a part of.
What I Can Share with Hosts
A new experience and sharing culture, especially hailing from the understanding of different cultures I've gained throughout the years from working with people across the globe.
