About Me

Well, my work takes me to a lot of places, and then i make sure i travel those places as much as possible.
I am not really an outgoing person, more of an quiet one. I do enjoy partying and having fun occasionally, but theres so many simpler things to appreciate and enjoy them. Also I love making conversations...specially when there is so much to know and understand.
Been to a lot of places, seen a lot of things, and every time i am out there, it makes me feel more alive and appreciate how beautiful everything is, how amazing everyone is.
Well i have a minimum online presence, and i gave up on Facebook back in 2012...but if you do wanna check me out, i am up on insta..."Mantahn' is the profile name - LoneTraveller..

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Always wanted to backpack, never really had the guts to just pack up and leave, but, i managed to do it, and now want to be a complete backpacker...meet amazing people along the way, share stories, exchange, make memories...
Understand cultures, the one thing that i have observed through out my travels is that people look different, speak differently but everyone is just the same from within...and that is one of the most amazing things. so different yet so similar.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love Music, movies and books (Fiction only)
I can't really say that "these are my fav", because music of all genres is beautiful, you just need to know how it speaks to you,

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Backpacking all along the Cape Peninsula, Cape Town, you'll be surprised how far your feet can take you.

Teach, Learn, Share

Always an open mind...want to learn so much but its difficult to put it in words, and a lot of things are pretty common too ;)
Here in India, we believe, Guests to be equivalent to Gods.
For me too, after travelling so much, you realise that all we need to do is treat everyone with respect and never take things for granted. Always give what you can, doesn't have to be money, for some that might be the last thing they expect. But sharing is something which will make an amazing difference in everyones life.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I live mostly on ships, so gimme a call out if you don't mind sailing for couple of months!
