Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would like to contribute in whatever little way possible to make the person visiting feel welcome and comfortable. Create your own visitor map!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

The specific discussion groups are a good place for information. Have hosted quite a bit now! And met a couple of really interesting people through CS when I was traveling.

Interests

Love reading, listening to all kinds of music, watching offbeat movies, long walks, and cycling around the city.

I am learning Flemish/Nederlands and would appreciate any conversation practice that I could get.

Music, Movies, and Books

The Dark Knight was beautiful! And In Bruges had some great moments. I love The Departed among the recent ones. And lots of old stuff like Bodyguard, The Mirror Has Two Faces, Bridge on River Kwai, You've Got Mail, Casablanca etc. etc. Recent additions to the list: The Holdovers, Anatomy of a Fall, Three Billboards outside Ebbing, Missouri, The Trail of the Chicago Seven, On the basis of Sex.

I read a lot. The Great Railway Bazaar is one of my favorite travel books. I read a lot of fiction too but no specific author as such.

Listen to all kinds of music, from Old English to the latest stuff. I love to attend western classical and jazz performances. EDM and house are the new additions to the genres that I like to explore.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Backpacking in Himalayas. The bare rugged mountains are beautiful. Cycling long distances in form of brevets. Have run lots and lots of marathons all over the world.

Teach, Learn, Share

Can teach Indian cooking and maybe some yoga! I would love to learn something from others. I'm not running these days, but I'm happy to walk/cycle around the city with you. :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Cook a meal together. Learn something from the guest. Go to the museums or explore the shopping district.
