CURRENT MISSION

Learning to slow down the crazyness upstairs.

ABOUT ME

Was born in India but grew up in Africa and have lived sporadically in France, Taiwan and America since. I really enjoy hiking and partying in world capitals and want to be a filmmaker in a few years. I have made a few music videos and short films and right now, I think I am going through a marination phase thats preparing me for a career as a director. I believe that one must absorb as many intricate details and ideas, emotions and opinions as he can to be succesful as a director and writer. The art I hope to create in film is going to based on a heroic realism, one that pits good intentions versus ambiguity, out of the confusion, appears an answer that demands integrity and honesty from the protagonist.

PHILOSOPHY

We all live, we breath, we eat, we fuck. I live for the same reasons everyone else does, but some know that and some don't. We live cause we love life too much.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Visiting the Dalai Lama temple in Dharamsala, India. Watching the coast of Greece come closer to us on a boat from Bari, Italy. Sitting on top of a train for a five house journey through the Andes in Ecuador. Bathing in a fresh water spring in Nigeria, in the middle of a large wildlife reserve and having a hoard of elephants come and drink from the same stream. Felt like mowgli or tarzan...
