:) I'd start with a smile. I, as a human, always try to be loving, compassionate & harmless to every living creature on earth! First off, I am a musician by profession. I have an internationally recognized instrumental band called 'Air & Air' in instrumental rock music arena. My last studio album was produced and released worldwide. If you want to know more about my band, you could pay a visit to our facebook fan page : https://www.facebook.com/airandair

Anyway, music helps me get inspired to live joyfully with positive energy, as George Santayan said, “The earth has music for those who listen", I believe I can listen to it, hence, this beautiful mother nature is my guiding spirit and source of inspiration.

Second off, my biggest dream is to travel the whole world! I entirely follow what Albert Einstein said "Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better," therefore I have been travelling, backpacking and climbing/hiking mountains for long to connect myself to this beautiful mother nature, the world. It is a must for me to see this beautiful world and meet it's beautiful people, thus I have to set out for the mother nature oftentimes. I have experienced a lot of trips and adventures in many places especially in SE Asia. As a mountaineer, I have trekked/climbed up some mountains with elevation of greater than 5000 meters in both the Indian and Nepalese Himalayas. I have experiences of trekking, camping and expeditions to the tropical mountains, jungles and islands of various countries numerous times. I know so many many places yet to be traveled. But I will do it to the hilt, by hook or by crook. I am a passionate runner too, just to let you know, I have run 12000+ km in last 33 months!

About my character traits, I think as a person, I am introspective, friendly, easygoing, liberal-minded, chivalrous and chuckle-some. I want to learn good things and gather knowledge from the nature and the wonderful people to help my human values flourish on a more spiritual level so that I can find my true self, my inner being. I of course a man of some shortcomings and mistakes, but I try to learn from my mistakes and develop myself into a good human being.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's pretty simple, as a genuine traveler I love to meet travellers from different parts of the world, share stories & experiences with each other and help them find a like-minded traveler's place to stay with a homely atmosphere.

Music, Movies, and Books

MUSIC : Haha, I am a musician, it's very hard to answer about my favorite music as I am enamored of a heck of a lot of bands and artists. Despite the fact that I basically am a rock musician, but as a listener I listen to good music of almost every genre. Anyway, I'd just say one thing about my favorite bands, I am an ultimate sucker for 'Pink Floyd' and 'The Beatles'.

MOVIES: Hey, a real movie buff here, hence another hard question for me to answer. I have more than 3500 movies in my collection. I love good-movie from every genre except horror. Still I am trying to give a list of my favorites.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have produced a progressive/experimental instrumental rock album with my band and released it internationally. It was quite challenging and not an easy journey at all to conceive ideas for an instrumental album and come up with such record eventually. You'd barely find such bands producing progressive instrumental rock album in the whole world, hence I would proudly say that I have done something amazing and challenging especially in the instrumental music arena.
