Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have been host in two countries, India and Canada. Been couchsurfing in 9-10 different countries.

In Toronto, Canada currently, see couch details in that section.

In New Delhi, we are in Vasant Vihar, close to the IG airport. Can offer spare rooms to 1-4 people.

Wherever I host you, you must be OK with music at odd hours, strange visitors and a unconventional lifestyle.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Walked around Annapurna in Nepal, 300km in 18 days, no guides or porters.

Been to Bhutan. Taksang. Enough said.

Travelled in a warzone - Kashmir. Local kids showed me bomb craters in the fields of Kargil.

Lived in a osho commune. Discovered I had a unusual talent - reading the future.

Landed at Kai Tak airport on the last commercial flight in, the 747 had to do that crazy 90 degree turn just before landing. The very next flight was carrying the Chinese premier. After his flight, Kai Tak was shut down.

Teach, Learn, Share

Don't take yourself so seriously. What appears to be a waste to one person, is a matter of life and death for another.

Canoeing.
Own two canoes. I can teach you how to do this https://s3.amazonaws.com/images.couchsurfing.us/1L1TE20/12269793_l_d9613ed09c10aa213c69d9930a86dd50.jpg

Snow camping
Only in January or February, learn how to sleep outside (camp) when it is -20 Celsius.
