About Me

An adventurous, easy-going person who is eager to explore the rest of the world and learn other cultures. I want to visit 7 wonders of the world and the unknown wonders, too. Unfortunately, COVID changed my entire travel plan, and now my resolution is to visit at least 5 new countries every year. I take little time to open up, but I don't mind if someone is a chatterbox. More than formal educational degrees, I value and respect personal human qualities such as kindness, honesty, sincerity, consistency, diligence, and altruism. I believe nature and our life experiences are our best teachers. Swimming, hiking, meditation, reading, and learning ancient history are a few of my hobbies. I am new to CS and willing to meet people from different parts of the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When you are placed in a different culture where you can't read, or understand others' languages; your academic qualifications seem useless but still you can communicate by the warmth of your heart, gestures and love, thus traveling teaches the most important lesson that should be learnt by humans. Meeting new people from other cultures has enriched me with values and qualities that I couldn't ever learn sitting in a classroom. When someone requests to be a guest at my place, or go for a walk to explore my city; I believe I am not helping someone, rather I am getting an opportunity to learning other perspectives of life that will navigate me to have a more joyful future.
