Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think Couchsurfing is a great way to meet people from different cultures and interact with them. I have hosted people from all continents(except Antarctica :)) and I consider myself very culture sensitive. I owe this largely to CS.
It saddens me to see people using the website with intentions of dating or making money. However, I have met some amazing people through CS. The love and warmth i have received from fellow CSers reminds me that the world is big and humanity still exists.
I believe a person is not stranded when there is a CSer nearby. Welcome, traveller!
Note:
1) Please do not send me a friend request if we have not interacted.
2) Please use direct message instead of sending stay requests, for having conversations.I read ALL the messages I receive.Note that I ignore all hi/hello/copy paste/non-personalized messages. Please do not randomly DM.
3) I am ok to host new people on couch surfing. PLEASE READ MY COMPLETE PROFILE!!! Please put some effort into it. I also prefer that your profile is complete and that there is some connect between us. Please read the couch surfing guidelines first!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Snorkelling with my sisters at Pulau Payar,Malaysia.
Strawberry picking at Miaoli, Taiwan.
Stargazing at Spiti valley, India.
Went "flower hunting" in the beautiful patios of Palacio de Viana, Córdoba,Spain.

Couple of years ago, i did the Nongriat trek in Meghalaya which involves going down 3000 steps, by the time i reached 80% of the way, it became dark. I completed the remaining trek in the dark all alone with only a dying torch and moonlight to guide me.
