Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on couch surfing to support the couch surfing travelers community. To learn about different cultures, their food, clothes, traditions, music as much as I can. To get inspired by other travelers who've travelled so much. To hear their travel stories.

Interests

2023-2024 hitchhiked from middle East oman to east coast of Africa till zimbabwe.
Now for 2025 I start from southeast Asia to central Asia to middle East crossing land borders.
Lived in the Himalayan mountains for 2 years now I travel full-time.1.9 years on the road.
I play couple of instruments like guitar, ukulele and keyboard but I am more of a vocalist and I like to sing mantras, latin music, medicinal music and songs from the 90’s.
I am a vegetarian since birth.
I make shows while I am on the road and put up my jewellery shop at the local markets at farmers day. If you have any information regarding that id be so happy to be sharing my talents in your country while being on the road.

I love nature and I seek so much.
I've been learning about meditation from Buddhist monks of himalayas and I understand that mind is so powerful tool of human experience.
