I am a researcher and I work in the area of Marine Pollution. I was born and brought up in West Bengal, and had stayed in other parts (Bangalore, Chennai) of India for my studies.

I recently moved to Halifax and happy to explore this place.

I am an open-minded, calm and soft-spoken guy. I love traveling, hanging out with friends, having a good talk. I love to meet people, not just for the sake of meeting them but to really listen to them, know them, share a good time and to be with them in any need. That really makes me feel good.

PHILOSOPHY

My momma always said, "Life was like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get."

FOR ALL THE TRAVELLERS

All you should do, is get some money, pack some butter and pour some honey
get your bottles and your dusty bags, forget all fears and stop living in rags
take the train and go travel, cover the miles and kiss the gravel

try some food but never be rude, take some selfie and be in the mood
lights are blazing but still, you will feel amazing
go out and feel it, meet people heal it

music for all, and not just one people, put on your shoes and dance to the Beatles
drink some wine, get some life and you will forget all your heartache and strife
take your chances, follow your heart, learn to laugh and lose all fears
look into the eyes with pleasure and by surprise, kiss the skies and go rise and you know life is a surprise with all despise

discover new places and act humble with proud faces, dance to the tune as your heart embraces
and then you realize how good a life can be with all the lovely people who always meet free
it's a wholesome education, you are learning life and there is no explanation
leave me not forever me, you are more than life and will always be

Thanks to all the travelers for the sweet time we spent together

keep traveling
Zack

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

CS is one of the most amazing things that has happened to me during my visit to Europe in Oct' 13 and since them, I am in love with it. I have spent some of the wonderful moments of my life with people from CS. I believe we all are stuffed with good qualities and CS helps in extracting it.

Human connections would undoubtedly be the most influential of all the action, you will leave behind for people to cherish, when gone from this miraculous perishable life, in a blink of an eye.

This naked contact of mind nurtured with selfless loving-kindness is contagious, leaving a delicious feeling of human existence that will relish every fiber of your being.

Listen to your old brag heart and let the beautiful stampede of emotion flow through you.

Purely dedicated to all the beautiful connections I have made <3
