About Me

A 90s kid trapped in an adult's body, secretly wishing for someone to actually invent a time machine.
The only religion I actually follow is Cinema, and Quentin Tarantino, Christopher Nolan, Mani Ratnam, Anurag Kashyap, Richard Linklater, Martin Scorsese and Steven Spielberg are my gods.
Love classic rock music(basically anything classic), gorging through unfamiliar food, endless beer, some good ol' whiskey and traveling to places with a rich history...not particularly in that order.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

1. I believe the best trips are made in homes and not hotels...nothing can replace the warmth, the quirks and the local, grounded spirit of a home especially if you're in the pursuit of experiencing an unfamiliar country the way it's supposed to be experienced.
2. I'm more of a listener than a talker so it's so much easier to establish a friendship in a foreign country and get to know about the place.
3. Home-cooked food >>>>>>>>>>>>> a hotel meal...ANY DAY.
