Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

By hosting guests, attending events, and couchsurfing at other members places when I am travelling.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have couch surfed once at my friend's place and vice-versa. She introduced me to the concept of couchsurfing and since then I have been hooked to it. I went to one of the local CS events and it was a blast. I look forward to meeting more couchsurfers and having a good time with them.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Two weeks road trip in Europe with a close buddy without using maps even once. We deliberately decided to do this to try our luck and find out what all we can see without planning anything and believe me it turned out to be the best two weeks of vacation ever. We did miss out on seeing the Eiffel tower though (so that goes in the list of amazing things not seen). Well, there is always next time for such things :)

Teach, Learn, Share

Well I have tons of sports related data and stories stored in my head somewhere. If the person couchsurfing at my place gets curious about any of that stuff, then its their lucky day! I was born and raised in Mumbai, so can talk in length about life in one of the most liveliest cities of the world.
