ABOUT ME

I have realized better introduction from the place where I was born and that is Tsum, a little known corner of the Nepalese Himalaya, extremely remote (just only 4 days walk nowadays), fairly isolated yet bestowed with exquisite natural beauty of course fully surrounded by white and sacred mountains and intact Tsum-pa culture.

Meeting with people from diverse background stretches my brain and soul like chewing-gum but I rarely chew this plasticky!
Getting an Erasmus Mundus scholarship is sort of unfolding multiple dreams and opportunities among one of the objective on paragraph 2.

One of the stupid attempt during my stay in Europe was try to learn all the language at least basic. International course in Germany with only 1 Deutsch friend and in Spain without any single spanish is kind of weird situation than my straight-forward expectation.

The first experience of CS in Konstanz was simply overwhelming, it took couple of hours to fall asleep because itâ

PHILOSOPHY

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I had a dream to offer a couch in my remote home town..probably the couch surfing in the highest place in the world (3100m) which 4 of my classmates from Columbia, Poland, Russia and Spain already made it!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first couchsurfing experince was simply incredible in Konstanz town with Berthold. He came to pick us up after ferry ride and his hospitality opened my mind to infinite horizons of couchsurfing.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

While in childhood, due to remoteness, I thought there were no other people beyond our home town. Once I saw the moving star and my teacher told me that is the satellite run by the people living far away.
Since then I was so fascinated to meet people. Then, I met people from the another corner of the world to climb the mountain in our place and I tried to speak with them but couldn't because of language barrier and I thought I will surely see them in my life. Nowadays, CouchSurfing has even made easier for this dream.

Teach, Learn, Share

I believe CouchSurfing has lot more than sleeping for couple of nights. It brings the sense of brotherhood, sisterhood which is really important to enhance the world peace.Every one should have feeling of relatives within each other. A mutual understanding is as strong as kinship. And CouchSurfing for me is all about increasing our way of understanding.
