About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To explore, meet, learn, share and grow.

ABOUT ME

I'm open minded, casual, calm and easy going. I can adapt to any place, person or situation. You won't see me complaining ever. I like to think of myself as a survivor.

PHILOSOPHY

One shouldn't occupy his mind with little troubles of life. Instead, search for unique and joyful experiences which can easily make life seem worthwhile. Traveling is something which can bring along these experiences.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have surfed in a few cities till now, was amused when getting to know total strangers and then actually living with them. I've been to CS meetings in Essen and Dortmund. Met some real travelling fanatics there. And I know some CSers personally here in Germany. I've had the opportunity to host just once becasue not many people visit the city I live in.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far so good!

Interests

I keep searching for things which would take me outdoors like travelling, hiking or meetups with strangers for a walk. I play cricket, badminton and table tennis among others. When I'm at home, I watch lots films and TV series, I am still into WWE and Dragonball-Z, I play games regularly on my computer, I browse social media (Facebook & Instagram) to stay updated on current events, I listen to songs occassionally while travelling, I read a few books a year (always looking out for mystery, horror and world war books) and I like learning to code and software which might be useful in my career.

Music, Movies, and Books

Slasher-dasher blood-spilling movies like Saw and Wrong Turn, mystery books like Agatha Christie and no particular music (I have hundreds of songs in my mobile but I don't always know what are the lyrics..who is the singer..which is the band..which is the genre...I just listen what pleases my mind..just the tune...I don't care about the details.
This is of course not an exhaustive list.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In my first ever alone trip in Germany, I boarded an afternoon bus to Hamburg without any hope of accommodation there and then it turned out to be a crazy but pleasant experience. Ask me about the details when you meet me.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach:
How to cook Indian food but I'm not sure if many people here like those hot spices.
How to nail your opponents in Tekken and Counter Strike if gaming is your thing.
How to play Cricket.
To speak Hindi, English or German.
Why to be grateful in life.

I want to learn:
I don't know three things considered as absolute basic in this part of the world - driving a car, swimming and playing a musical instrument.

I can share:
My experiences and thoughts as a young Indian boy who traveled into the unknown to live in Germany where I knew no one - what pleased me, what shocked me, what changed me.
