I'm a registered yoga teacher ( RYS 200, Sivananda Yoga Vedanta, Madhurai , India ) and an Ayurvedic Massage therapist from Anjali School of Ayurveda and Panchakarma, Kannur District, Kerela , registered NGO with Govt of India.

Plus

Personality wise :

Indian hippy here :) :P ;)

I'm honest , straightforward person,optimist , very calm,relaxed, helpful and friendly and fun loving. I intend to to talk only positive as much as possible. MEDITATION is my DRUG ( &hippy songs mostly - love, peace and shit like that :P ). I can be very silent and very talkative, depends on my mood.

My main interest these days is :

Bhakti Yoga : Chanting mantras/ Yoga of Love/ Devotion/ Surrender to some Higher Wisdom ! !

&

Laughter Yoga : Unconditional Laughter as an exercise, nmw for health benefits !!

i like chanting , i might not have traditionally beautiful voice ( meaning your ears may bleed while listening to me but its NOT my problem ). If you want adventure in life and want to RISK it all , ask me to sing, i'm sure you will REGRET IT a lot. ha ha I try not to care what anyone else think about me. I love street music.

I like to listen and talk both but can do only 1 of these at one time.
I prefer when one person speaks and other listens and then vice versa.

I'm sensitive , I've attention to detail.

My mission is to have no mission. I'm understanding Life - Exploring Life - Was Backpacking Europe for 1.5 years just came back, I Love meeting new people , understanding their lives, problems, laughter, good stuff, bad stuff, likes , dislikes, and then laugh a lot about everything , every time, stupid jokes, smoke a bit of weed , laugh a lot more, laugh a bit more, Talk about life, spirituality, music, good times, relaxing, chilling, eating good pizza, eating food sitting on a terrace with interesting conversations being high, exchanging views, arguing, understanding, knowledge, wisdom, hopes, friendship, compassion, love, forgiveness, hippy lifestyle, peace, love, humanity, chilling, empathetic , sensitive,philosopher, wishing good for all, love, laugh, life, peace, laugh again , laugh a lot, yoga, exercise, healthy food, vegetarian food mostly , sometimes KFC ha ha , nothing straight, confused sometimes, many a times but still LIFE, meeting new , learning , exploring.... VERY curious...

Professionally, A teacher and a student :)

Assist/Lead with various subjects, not limited to only academics ( maths and of course IT:P indian legacy ha ha ) but yoga, laughter yoga( 2nd indian legacy:P ) , auyrvedic massage therapist( 3rd indian legacy:P ) etc. Fun loving, loves a crazy laugh, people make me tickle , their habits, behaviour, sometimes is too funny for me. :)

I'm spiritual , not religious but i can see the good in religion as well. I think the world is magical if you TRUST LIFE and give her a chance.

My personality :

+ves :
I've simple living and less material desires. I can sleep on the couch, on the floor, sitting or even stand sleeping ha ha If you already have some CS guests and think about my comfort then don't i can adjust so much, all i need is a blanket if cold and i can go to sleep like a baby .

And when i'm hosting , I'm friendly too. I like to make my guest feel comfortable.

I've a slightly weird personality at times but i like to be me. It think I'm brave, super easy going, super friendly, laughs a lot lot lot and lots of fun , story teller.

Always have a burning desire to know more. Curiosity leads me a lot of times, sometimes pleasant and gets me in trouble at other times :) but always leaves an invaluable experience/learning behind.

-ve's ( not sure if negative is the right word but yea : )

1) A bit proud of my intellect, wittiness,egoist may be but i embrace and like it.

2)Emotional fool a bit, videos like this makes me cry : https://www.facebook.com/annarita.palma.54/videos/10207720185301310/?pnref=story ,

PHILOSOPHY

This section can be long.... ha ha

So its give and take . If you trust life, and give to life, be generous to people, places, birds, life in general , if you be generous to LIFE , LIFE will in turn be GENEROUS TO YOU. ( Having said that i'm very CHEAP with money :P )

Whatever u give out, will come back to you, its simple. If you give, you allow to receive , you become in receiving mode quickly, its same vibration. May be you help someone and get help from somewhere else, just try to help without expecting anything from this person but Trusting that life is gonna bring u everything u will ever need. Life's a friend, trust life, she loves u , the flow is with you, the flow wants u to be happy, the flow is bringing u everything u want towards u , just allow yourself to be in receiving mode. Have a big heart to accept it as its bigger than u. Be brave , generous, giving, accepting.

In nut shell, give life a chance and experiment by making a concious choice of TRUSTING LIFE and see what comes back ?

I can talk deep shit with humour ( dark of course :P ) like a GURU :P :P

Life can be challenging sometimes but if we can still laugh in the middle of problems, imperfections,i think its a gift :) and it keeps me going i believe....

Also i believe in being honest to myself more than anything else, if i respect my own feelings and do what i find joy in no matter what others expect of me and be true to express myself , i like it this way.

Also I like people who are honest about their feelings, you can tell me anything you feel anytime if that's what you think / feel about anything no matter how shitty it sounds in your head or if its something very wrong about me you think and i'll keep an open mind and acknowledge it, infact i will be happy to listen and will appreciate your honesty.

If we can create " PEACE " within our minds, rest becomes a big bonus. Its better/wise to acknowledge & be 'thankful' for what we already have rather than complaining about what's missing !!

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

i believe couch surfing is a FANTASTIC IDEA, I appreciate and am very thankful for all the people who hosted me in an expensive continent like Europe recently.I travelled many countries like this.

I think its an excuse to travel without actually travelling by meeting like minded backpackers when i'm hosting. Besides i get to meet some awesome musicians and listen to some great music sitting at home :) Win-Win.

Met some great people in Europe especially Italy, Bulgaria, Romania so generous hosts, that I'll always remember. Thanks to CS.

Centres d'intérêt

1) Sarcasm - humour - laughter .

2) Deep discussions about life - why are we here ? who am i ? Energies talk, vibrations, spirituality ( not so much religion but a little bit good stuff of religion and its understanding why ? ) The talk about why ? why like this ? why this ? why ? how ? how it works ? KNOWLEDGE and then KNOWLEDGE ABOUT KNOWLEDGE .

3) Judicious use of Marriagewana :) , pardon my spelling, english is not my first language you know !!

4) Teaching is my passion and profession. Anytime I spend tutoring, never seems like work to me and always makes me feel satisfied. Also I like sports , cricket is my favorite, ( 4th indian legacy :P ) . I am also into latin Dances like salsa, especially I love bachata; ( this is NOT an indian legacy :P may be i've south american roots in life before , ( as i believe in reincarnation ( 5th indian legacy :P) )

5 )I love a lot - INDIAN FOOD , IS MY FAVOURITE AND NOW ITALIAN FOOD ALSO , WE'RE THE FUCKING SAME CRAZY PEOPLE WHEN IT COMES TO FOOD I LOVE IT HA HA ( 6TH AND LAST INDIAN LEGACY :P)

6) Likes travelling and exploring new places, exchanging notes with people from diverse background interestsme.
As with any other modern age person, computer is my best friend. Spend a lot of time on youtube watching TV shows like Sienfield, friends , air crash investigation.

7) Some TV SHOWS like Air Crash Investigation, in particular i'm sort of addicted to . I love aircrafts and the technology behind, how small things matters & can lead to or if done properly avoid big catastrophes , i find this fascinating, i like science behind this.
Personally , i would love to learn how to fly an aircraft sometime in my life.
Also I'm Big fan of late night show with david letterman.

Morceaux de musique, films et livres

TV SHOWS :

A hard one as the list is a long one but some of my personal entertainers are David Letterman, Borat; David is so funny, i love this guy.. If i had a chance to choose between 30 mins time to spend have a coffee with David Letterman or say a top hot actress of my choice : Charlize Theron , i would choose Dave... oh wait i can also spend 15 mins with both ;)

I like Alan Watts and what he says and writes about life, universe, it makes sense to me.

MUSIC :
hippy music of love, life, peace, sometimes only instruments wow, its so magical... I love only instruments song, i've some from slovakia a friend gave me i can share with u.

MOVIES :

I love movies, i can watch a lot of them , but what i like is comedy and romantic movies like sweet november. Also I like different, crazy movies , unconventional ones like a beautiful mind and also the not so famous ones, old ones. Also science fiction but it depends on what type.

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

Starting my successful online education company at the age of 19 I think was pretty amazing and I'm grateful to the universe for the same.

Adventure sports like paragliding i did in manali , looking down at the trees from that height when all looks small and you're just gliding in the sky, love that feeling. Scuba diving was also interesting.
