CURRENT MISSION

Love and affection - spread it like a virus, receive it like a bursting dam, recycle it like a jute bag, sugar-coat it like sugar cubes, find it again and again but never lose it...

ABOUT ME

Love to meet people around the world. As I am in the profession of communication, my passion is to share my thoughts and feelings and exchange knowledge and viewpoints. I have traveled quite extensively around the world. I know the power of meeting people and how it helps in bringing about new perspectives in life. I am global in attitude and culture. I simply love to interact and exchange love and goodwill.

PHILOSOPHY

Spiritual and philosophical. Not religious, but neither an atheist. I want to embrace life in its true form. Realistic and practical.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am attracted to human beings in the truest sense. I am very curious and always try to explore the person I meet to know more. At times I can get a little intrusive but it is more about "not missing out on anything" rather than being interfering. I love meeting new people regularly and that's what has driven me towards CS.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I remember once when I was in 10th standard, I was traveling alone to Germany for the first time in my life. I was only 15 then. I had a great companion. A German lady from Frankfurt. She realised I was nervous and in order to overcome my nervousness she started interacting with me and telling all beautiful facts about Germany. I was overwhelmed and started opening up to her. I did not realize how time passed by. She even offered me to stay with her in Frankfurt. I couldn't but I still relish this experience.

Teach, Learn, Share

Not a teacher in the truest sense. But people learn (in my company) on how to develop the spirit of peace and happiness. I try to spread joy around me and want to learn how to be content with life.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can offer hosts a peaceful stay with an Indian family. The family that has travelled across the world but has roots intact with India. So the hosts will not get a culture shock upon landing in India as we are mix of western and oriental - a perfect combination for the guests.
