About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I am trying to get to the UK from Nepal without flying. Meeting as many people as possible. And really testing my knowledge of the world and myself ;)

ABOUT ME

My mission in life is to make a contribution humanity. My 9-5 job made this dream fade, and I am trying to rekindle it during my travels.
I am friendly and polite, but I can drift off in my own world every now and then. Though I am a chilled but attentive host, and a well mannered guest.
If you really want to know me, though, learning is my favourite thing.

PHILOSOPHY

Think... a lot! Then do something, then think about it. But always remember the "do something" part.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am traveling until Aug '11. So I'm a surfer until then...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Met up with a few surfers for lunch and coffee. But I haven't really done any actual couchsurfing yet. I need to start getting a bit more organised..

Interests

Reddit. TED Talks. Trekking. Very amateur photography. Armchair philosophy. Anything that allows me to learn or teach. Music old/new/classical/hiphop(90's)/beats/rock(classic)/oldies. Sitting on the internet for too long. Old simpson's quotes. And science - hooray for science WOO!
