Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
learn more about the world, and give back to it as much as possible
ABOUT ME
I'm easy-going, friendly, chilled, and can be quite talkative, though I'm more of a listener in larger groups.
After working in India for a couple of months, I've realised there's a completely different world out there. I now want to meet new people & experience life from all different sides of the globe.
I love to adventure, explore, chill & wander in unexplored territory. I also imagine, ponder, indulge and dream alot too. I'm very open to new things.
I'm totally new to couchsurfing and I'm excited to try it out.
PHILOSOPHY
Never stop and settle for less.
Work hard, be kind, and amazing things will happen.
The only drug I need is music.
Challenge Assumptions and Disrupt the Status Quo (it's my company's motto... :>)

Teach, Learn, Share

Can also talk films, music all day and exchange suggestions.
