My name is Hari, i'm 34 and I love learning new things, meeting new people, playing racket sports (especially Squash), keeping fit and generally experiencing new things however random they may be - there's no limit!

I also love films, philosophy, reading, chess and travelling the world.

I am the sort of person who believes to be truly happy you must go with your inner feeling rather than overthinking. Put simply, my heart has the final say rather than my head.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing because I figured the best way to travel a country is to stay with the locals. For example I have been to the US many times but I only ever stay with my best friend or relatives so I wanted to branch out and jump into the unknown for a change!

In 2017 I did 15 US states in less than 2 months and Couch-Surfed throughout (see references & pics for details). I can honestly say it was the best 2 months of my life and I want to continue using Couchsurfing to meet decent new people whenever I travel the world.

Algo increíble que he hecho

Stand Up Comedy course and performing at the end in front of about 60 people I'd never met before!

Also did a bungy jump and a skydive!

Enseña, aprende, comparte

I can teach you how to play Squash, how to speak really good English (the English way!) and how to play Chess (I love playing!).

I'd like to learn whatever language the country I'm in is speaking (other than English as all I can speak is English English & English lol) and maybe learning/experiencing a new thing or two from your culture.

Qué puedo ofrecer a los anfitriones

I can share my quirky sense of humour, energy and thirst for adventure with you. I also know the best spots in London and I'm happy to show you these places when we hang out (if you would like to!). I cook several times a week so we can eat together when you stay with me! We can also eat out in some really good restaurants (there are tonnes of places near me as I live very centrally!).
