About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Stay positive, always! Help myself help others tap into the enormous reserves of energy and potential we all carry within.

ABOUT ME

Traveler of the world. Grateful for every moment I'm alive. Trying to be a real fan of the global community on this small planet. Always looking to experience humanity and kindness through others and trying my best to reciprocate. Working to improve myself by appreciating others for who they are and by having profound respect for each and every soul on this planet. This is a stage, one's role is temporary and I'm lovin' the show.

PHILOSOPHY

Can't EVER compromise on positivity. Allow your positivity to help neutralize any negativity around you. It's NEVER too bad (unless you are surrounded by dancing cannibals ready to devour you 😃). That said, NEVER carry negative energy. Develop and nurture true love for mankind. Improve yourself through others and on a daily basis. You always need improvement, no matter how 'cool' you think you've become. Keep your feet on the ground, keep your head level and never lose your humility. The more humble you are, the more respect worthy you become and the more fun you will have. Spirit lives. Life is a vibe. Feel it. Each moment has a vibe and life is a collection of moments. Understand the Power of Now.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am new to this, but to me it feels like CS and I were meant to cross paths in this lifetime. I think now that CS and I have met, there is A LOT more participation for me to undertake. I will certainly utilize my citizenship of this global village to the fullest. This is such a small planet; it's very much a duty to explore it. Thank you CS for providing a platform to take my journey(s) to wherever they take me.

I need very little to survive and I'm not picky about the accomodation(s) I get.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None yet. But I hope this section will get filled sooner rather than later.

Interests

My main area of interest is human beings. Human being is such an amazing creature that not a day goes by before I get fascinated with the beauty, complexity, richness, and spirit (or lack thereof) of various human beings. The hints of the amazing craftsmanship of the creator are all around us. Communicating and connecting with others makes me happy. That's always my first priority is to be able to connect with someone. Our surroundings and people around us are a great source of self-discovery and awareness. Life is short, real short. Get to know others as well as yourself through their eyes. That is the essence of life and being human.

Music, Movies, and Books

Apollo 13, Lawrence of Arabia, U2, Pink Floyd, Bob Dylan, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Lata, Rafi, Kishore,

Books: Think and Grow Rich. The Success Principles. A brief History of Time, Cosmos, The Elegant Universe. Etc etc.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Flying over the Karakorum range viewing endless frozen peaks ranging hundreds upon hundreds of miles with small streams of frozen water and ice some probably never disturbed by human beings was fascinating to witness. Also fascinating to view was this pointed, mammoth snow covered piece of rock bulging from down below and almost touching the sky; the glorious, the powerful, and majestic, K2.

Teach, Learn, Share

To love mankind. To be humble. To give back more than you take. To let yourself go. I'm trying to learn it all over again :)
Don't live life running around scared. Open up and let the breeze hit your face. It's beautiful.
Touch me and help me strengthen these traits. I hope to touch you refreshingly as well.
