About Me

I'm a student at the Ivey Business School in London, Ontario. I'm social, patient and creative. I'm someone who likes to observe the little things around me. I can enjoy a good movie any day and would trade reading a book on a hilltop for a party any time of the year. Sunsets are a personal favorite, especially those after a drizzle and engulfed in multiple hues.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

What I like the most about traveling is getting to meet new people and having interesting conversations. I think Couchsurfing gives a chance to experience the local culture and its the best way to get to know a place.

Interests

I love traveling and I have been to quite a few places in India, Europe and South America. I enjoy the local culture and the street food every where I go. I enjoy writing poems and some short stories. Music, books and movies remain eternal favorites, Tarantino, Morrison and Pynchon being my constant companions.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music begins with Indie, proceeds to blues and ends at Rock. Pink Floyd, The Doors, Radiohead are some that regularly feature on my playlists. When talking about books, I would never miss out on Franz Kafka, a bit of Thomas Pynchon and the crazy world of Philip Dick. Camus gives company to the head while Sartre comforts the soul.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Waiting to gauge the entire spectrum before I decide what that one thing is/was.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can talk in lengths about a host of movies. Plus a great amount of stories associated with my childhood and my city. And yes, I promise to introduce anyone I meet to a great little book and a new band.

I'd love to learn more about the cultures and lifestyles of different kinds of people. For it is their stories and their lives that influence character and shall shape the way I am.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My collection of novels that I always carry along with me and my hard disk which has more than 1 TB of movies and music.
