About Me

I’m someone who’s always on the move, hopping from one place to another, climbing up trails, trekking through hills, and roaming around wherever curiosity takes me. I like to dive into the local vibe—walking through streets, tasting whatever food the stalls are serving, and striking up conversations with people I meet along the way. For me, travel isn’t just about covering distance, it’s about learning—whether it’s from landscapes, culture, or the small everyday details of life in different places.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m on Couchsurfing because I love experiencing places through the eyes of the people who live there. For me, travel is not only about seeing new landscapes but also about connecting with locals, sharing stories, and learning how life feels in different corners of the world. I enjoy roaming streets, trying local food, and exploring offbeat spots that don’t always make it to travel guides. Couchsurfing feels like the best way to do that—by meeting people, exchanging cultures, and making friendships along the way.

Book -Sophie’s World

Jostein Gaarder’s Sophie’s World is not just a novel but also a journey through the history of Western philosophy. First published in 1991 in Norwegian, the book has since been translated into many languages and has become a global bestseller.

The story begins with Sophie Amundsen, a 14-year-old girl in Norway, who starts receiving mysterious letters with thought-provoking questions like, “Who are you?” and “Where does the world come from?” These questions pull her into a secret philosophy course, guided by an unknown teacher named Alberto Knox. As Sophie learns about the ideas of philosophers from Socrates to Sartre, she also discovers that her own life might be part of a bigger mystery.

What makes the book special is the way it combines fiction with philosophy. Gaarder manages to present complex ideas in simple language, making them accessible even for readers with no background in the subject. The narrative sometimes feels like a philosophy textbook hidden inside a novel, but it works because Sophie’s curiosity mirrors the reader’s own.

The book’s strength lies in its ability to awaken wonder. It reminds us that philosophy begins not with answers but with questions. However, some readers might find the pace slow, especially when the narrative shifts into long philosophical explanations. The final twist, where Sophie realizes she is part of someone else’s story, adds a layer of metafiction that may feel confusing or brilliant, depending on the reader’s taste.

Overall, Sophie’s World is both an engaging coming-of-age story and a crash course in philosophy. It is best suited for readers who enjoy big questions, are curious about ideas, or are new to philosophy.

Verdict: A thought-provoking novel that makes philosophy accessible, blending storytelling with intellectual exploration.
