About Me

CURRENT MISSION To visit all 195 countries of the world ) and to explore, discover and understand the unique health, spiritual and food practices of both known/unknown parts of the world.

If you are a person with marketing skills, and can work with me on a marketing strategy/PR/designing, then maybe you are perfect blend of person I am looking for. We can travel together and exploring the world and work with me, all expenses paid by me while we create new ideas and products.

ABOUT US Myself and my best friend Praseetha(from Texas) travel together covering all the lands of this world, islands or countries or conflict areas or restricted areas...no classification matters. We believe the whole world belongs to every human in this world equally and travel without borders is our idea...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Usually I prefer to be the plan B for surfers who got stranded and no where to go.So if you get stuck somewhere, text me up :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Our purpose is to meet people for drinks..could be a coffee or a good wine..but the main thing is the conversation that follows..(Praseetha and I stay in hotels, so we wont bother anyone for couch)

And do you know what I don like?

People who write fancy things about self on profiles (like easy going,cool,humble,fun loving etc to name a few) and don't reply to messages. Yes, it's everybody's own decision to decide whom and when to meet but then why be a hypocrite?.

If you don’t like to reply, just say you aren’t interested to receive texts and we could save each other’s time.

Remember "Until all humans are respected unconditionally,humanity remains uncivilized", Anton

That's my experience from so many years traveling across the world and I still haven't hung up on humanity because I still meet better people.

Sorry if that was too harsh but let's not be politically correct.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Latest :) Survived a shark attack in the Marajo Island in Brazil and lived to tell the story :)

Travelled from Istanbul to Napoli by road covering a record 18 countries covered in 28 days. Roadtrip through the drug infested remote route from Mexico to Panama....through forests, villages, drug lords...got arrested, strip searched, near kidnapped..and. much much more...made many friends.. :) and finally I emerged in Madrid thanks an Iberia flight. After watching icecubes in my whiskey, I thought "icecubes?hmm wonder how Iceland feels like",2 hours later I'm at dusseldorf airport with ticket to Reykjavik for just a 4 hour party trip and back. Future thing - Drive from India to UK.24000 kms. Through China, Central Asia, Russia on way to Europe...I have 4 seats, 2 taken, 2 free.. Sailing across the Tahiti atolls, watch all the active volcanoes in the world,go to Arctic and Antarctic, get lost in the Amazon rain forest looking for the lost city of Z It doesnt end here...

Teach, Learn, Share

Let me share something I learnt long back.

So this one day, I ended up staying at an unlikely place and met somebody, almost like a half asleep dream and he told me something

"Son, On your journey, you may find it tempting to settle down in the beautiful valley, river side or the village you just passed through. But it is the ability to move on that makes you a real traveller.No land is native or foreign for him. A real traveler's journey never ends for he needs to move on until he finds his answers and that he will never find. Because, it is the traveller who is the journey itself!"

My friends, all I can say is, I have been walking ever since, left my country and roaming the world like a nomad and my journey is across lives beyond families,destinations and relations. I am the living journey myself :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

A Library
Roof Top Dinner
A Thrilling Movie Experience
Personal collection of exotic Coffee Beans from across the world
Collection of Wines - Mostly French and Austrian
Cookies - If I manage to bake them well..(I haven’t killed anyone yet with my food, but that’s all I can assure :)
