I am a human being and I belong to this world. To me, all the people are the same and equal. I'm an atheist , metalhead🤘, curious traveler🤓 who is keen to learn about different countries 👣.

Places lived:
India 🇮🇳 for 23 years (10.1988 - 10.2011)
Bonn, Germany 🇩🇪 for 2.5 years (10.2011- 05.2014)
Helsinki, Finland 🇫🇮 06.2014 - current
Edinburgh, UK 🇬🇧 for 3 months (05.2016 - 08.2016)

Since moving to Europe (10.2011), I visit at least 1 country every year where I have never been to. Plans for 2017 - Cuba (October), Latvia (June), Poland (September), Norway (July).

I love Moto GP and Formula1...I am a big big big fan of Valentino Rossi (need to get #46 tattoo).

I have a golden retriever dog 🐕🐕🐕. If you are afraid/allergic to dogs, then my apartment is not suitable for the stay.

I will give my mobile number and we can be in touch via whatsapp a day prior to arrival. It makes communication much easier. If you confirm and then don't choose to stay, kindly inform 1 day in advance otherwise I will leave a negative reference🚷.

☠☠☠💀💀☠☠☠
IMPORTANT:

1. If I host you, then please leave a REFERENCE within 15days of stay. If you don't, then the reference goes to other section (because of CS new policy) and doesn't reflect that I host you. Further, I hate sending messages to people asking them to leave reference on time. ✍️

2. I host quite often, so I prefer that people send me a good couch request after reading the profile (General copy paste requests are also okay). Please don't send one liner requests like "I am in Helsinki and want to take the train/flight next morning". Otherwise I will decline your request without giving a reason. Also, send a couch request and not a message if you want to stay with us ❌

3. For those members who are on CS for more than 18 months, if you have not hosted anyone and only enjoyed luxurious stay with surfers, I consider you as freeloaders who are exploiting this amazing idea. Please don't send me requests. Exceptions - if you are from some small village where people don't visit often/ living in student dormitories where it's not allowed to host people. 🚫

4. You must have a profile filled with adequate information 🗨

5. Since I had a really bad experience hosting someone who was new to CS, make sure that you have atleast one reference - either as a surfer or a host. Or send a "very very very" good couch request. Otherwise it's hard for me to accept your request ⚠️

6. I host both males and females. For people with more than 10 references as a host: Send me a request only if you have hosted both males and females. I have seen a lot of profiles with good number of references as hosts, but when I check the references, it's evident that they have only hosted females and it pisses me a lot. ⛔️

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Tattoos, Travelled all the States in India alone (2007-2010), which is almost as big as Europe if you exclude Russia!!

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: Well, I think that I can't teach (I'm a bad teacher) people a lot of things but I can learn a lot from them.

Learn: Tips about fishing, swimming.

Sharing : I can share whatever I have with me.

If you stay with us and can cook something, I will be very happy. Not a must though.
