CURRENT MISSION

"To live life to the fullest"

ABOUT ME

I'm originally from India and I'm a patriotic soul. Only people don't believe me since I left the country 3 years ago and I don't have any intention to go back for another few years but eventually I will.

I like to travel, go hiking to unusual places and try different cuisines (I think you truly know a place when you can find good restaurants in a city.)

PHILOSOPHY

Live and let live.

Don't waste your time on jealousy - sometimes you're ahead, sometimes you're behind - the race is long and in the end it's only with yourself!

Whatever you do, don't congratulate yourself too much or berate yourself either. Your choices are half-chance and so are everybody else's.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Well, I haven't contributed too much to the CS community - just couch surfed once so far in Grenoble and want to try it out. Unfortunately, I live in a 10x10 place in Paris so I cant offer a couch.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have couch surfed once in Grenoble with a very nice lady with my mother and sister. She lived a bit far from Grenoble but made the effort to pick us up and drop us to the city. She was very warm and friendly and we truly enjoyed her company!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went Kayaking with my boyfriend for the first time in the fjords of Norway without any help or prior training in the cold winter. Half-way through we realized, it was getting dark and would be impossible to find a shore if we lost the light. We were dead tired but we kayaked like maniacs to reach home. It's been my most amazing experience to date. I don't remember physically pushing myself so much ever!

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: I can tell someone how they could potentially move countries in one day and adapt.

Learn: I want to learn about many things: economics, good book recommendations, art etc etc
