PHILOSOPHY

Everybody has a story to tell. Talk to them.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I host Couch surfers and take time to take them out for dinner or a drive around chennai . If I'm travelling I am more than happy to let them accompany me. I love travelling myself and I know how awesome it is to be hosted by a local and host friends from other countries. Its my way of giving back to the community.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have stayed with locals via CS and also through making friends directly. People are always nice and its good to meet new ones and getting to know a different side of life. I have done spiritual retreats, camping, trekking, exploring, partying dirty and crazy, almost every experience is awesome and different .

Teach, Learn, Share

Respect others, understand that "shit happens" , stop generalizing an entire group or place just because you've seen something once, ....and most of all - "IT ALWAYS HELPS TO ASK INSTEAD OF ASSUMING" ...crack a joke as it always breaks the ice and enjoy a joke when you're made fun of :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Stories... . I travel a lot on work and vacations. I have a furnished house . I also have a domestic help who cooks, cleans and literally takes care of me and the house . So I am happy to let CSers use it, feel at home. I have a car and a bicycle. I can share the bicycle :P My office is closeby and you're welcome to work at my workplace. You'll love the ambience I've created there.
