About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Find Artificial Intelligence

ABOUT ME

I love seeing places, experiencing the local culture, customs, AND food.
I live off music and books.
I wish I could breathe cool mountain air every living moment of my life!
I can cook a real spicy Indian meal and even teach ya :-).

PHILOSOPHY

Live a spartan, simple life. Keeps your mind clear, and doesnt clutter the earth.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Always available to provide help and info on India, at least the parts that I know.
I am into Birding. I am also into off-beat destinations.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Had one guest a long time back when we had space at home. Right now, don't have spare space. But I do love to interact with people, and hope I can help people travelling to India. And look forward to receiving local guidance on my trips abroad.
