Why are we Couchsurfing

To meet people new people, cultures, customs, cuisines and ways of life, while visiting and exploring new places and get the real feel of places I visit.

You can never enjoy new places as tourist unless you are a traveler too. Making a real connection with local people of the area and seeing places with the local perspective in mind enriches the overall experience.

PHILOSOPHY

No Tragedy can justify pessimism. if you find your self-experiencing most crucial and painful things, don't feel cursed but blessed as God has provided you an opportunity to find out, How much you can stretch your self! -- My Philosophy

"You never change the existing reality by fighting it. Instead, create a new model that makes the old one obsolete." -- R. Buckminster Fuller

"Serenity isn't freedom from the storm, it is peace within the storm. If you continually give then you will continually have." -- Unknown

'Only those who risk going too far can possibly find out how far they can go.' ~ T. S. Eliot

Sleeping: Please don't feel badly about the kind of accommodation you can offer us. What matters most to us is that we are staying with YOU . we are as happy sleeping on a couch or a mattress on a floor.

Food - we are not vegetarian but we only eat halal / Kosher meat and no pork. We can take care of my own food but just that you know when we eat together.

The Charm of Couch surfing for us is to meet new people and discover new places with them. However, If you are busy we are perfectly happy to do our own things - We like to explore a city by walking and watching & Meeting interesting people. We respect everyone equally for what they do in life.

Please let us do your dishes, garden work, and anything that we can help with. This is my way of showing gratitude and being part of the family. Treat us as a friend, not as a guest.
