Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

this is how.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I couchsurfed in Portugal in 2010 and Southeast Turkey in 2014 and loved it.

Interests

books - so far there is no pattern in the types i like so I won't say much about that. But guess I am more into stories set in some interesting political era related to Sub-continent and/or Middle-East and that are highly opinionated, confronting and take sides.

basketball - my measurements don't match the athletic requirements but i play anyway. I don't let anyone watch though!

maps - i love world maps. no reason found so far.
