CURRENT MISSION

To travel , discover and embrace different cultures ,traditions and history of the ppl

ABOUT ME

Hi, My name is Pious Ahuja, i am a student, i love traveling , began at the age of 10 by moving to the states and learned the differences between cultures and ever since then have wanted to travel all around the world to discover the cultures for their essense rather than what you read in the textbooks, as they are often biased.
I am very spontaneous, adventures. " You only live once" i love to go out dancing with my friends if you do come visit i'll take you dancing, maybe salsa, reggaeton,normal clubbing anything. I love music from all different countries esp, Reggaeton,HindiRock,Hip Hop and lately Greek Music
I also love nature, love exploring and just randomly going places, i'm really into History and am a big fan of visiting museums and churches.

PHILOSOPHY

I want to work and live life not just live to work, Honesty cant see myself living in a cubicle. I want to have the flexibility to travel anytime i want to and just go to new places , constantly like change..
... here are a few quotes, which basically sum up my philosophies
" Sometimes the best decisions in life is not choosing between Good 'n Evil but choosing the Lesser of two Evils"

" "The strength of the tree can only be measured by the ability of the roots to support the tree" my dear friend Kenny Hooks

** Be True To thine Self** Shakespeare

Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments. Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove:
O no! it is an ever-fixed mark
That looks on tempests and is never shaken;
It is the star to every wandering bark,
Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.
Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle's compass come:
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
But bears it out even to the edge of doom...
***Shakespeare***

To Be or not to be that is the question, whether tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings n arrows of outrageous fortune, or to take arms a sea of troubles 'n by opossing them to die , to sleep, no more...and by a sleep to say we end the heartaches 'n the thousand natural shocks that flesh is heir to.**Shakespeare**

Just live and let live...and dont stop your self from going into the unfamiliar b/c in the end its ur life and you only live once.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I want to help others embrace the different cultures by sharing my experiences, knowledge and perhaps taking them to the popular or local places where they can truly experience that country's culture(wherever i will be living for that time being) and not just take the touristy stuff in but actually get to have something personal from the experience.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

i have just started couch surfing, i have heard really good things and i'm very excited about participating and meeting people who also share my love for traveling.

I used to live in New Delhi, saw obv India Gate on weekly basis, Qutab Minar and others
In the South carolina, Ive go to College of Charleston, charleston is soo beautiful, amazing city very very historical, one of the oldest colleges in the states,
Been to the NYC,NJ,Miniapaplis, Panama City Beach and Atlanta.
Studying in Italy- loveeeeeeeee it..
Have traveled to Rome,Milan,Parma,Pisa,Greece,Santorini and am going to Tuscany this weekend , So excited!!
My fav thing so far has been riding four wheelers in Santorini, Greece, it was soo out of this world to experience the local culture by just riding in four wheelers, not too distant like a car and its just faster than going by foot, i waved to local ppl, spoke to them and went into local hills. It was awesome!
