CURRENT MISSION

Travel the whole world

ABOUT ME

I am currently working in Hungary Budapest at Exxonmobil after completing my Masters in Economics. I love my job. Before this I worked for a couple of banks. So, working for a bank really did not fascinate me and I got really bored of 9-5 routine (not exactly 9-5 but 9-9 as I was working in a corporate department of a bank). Hence, I decided to pursue Masters and I chose Eastern Europe because I knew that I would have an ample opportunity to travel all the exotic places.

It is been around two years since I am iving here in Budapest. It is nice over here as you can always go visit new country on a weekend.

PHILOSOPHY

Work hard and party hard not just party hard ;).

Enjoy your life to the fullest and make the best of your time.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have not participated much but I would like to participate. I would be willing to host couchsurfers. I would be willing to hangout with people coming for a visit to Budapest, because that is where I am currently residing. I can help you navigate around the city and have some drinks/party.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Until now I have not experienced it much but I hope to have a good experience. I have heard from a lot of my friends about the experience, so looking forward for a memorable experience ;).

Interests

Travelling, that is why I am here. Going to gym regularly. Try to run outdoors as much as possible. I also like to swim. I have not read a lot of books, but mostly I am interested in investment related books. Recently, I started reading End of Poverty by Jeffrey Sachs. Talking with people, learning from other people experiences. Learning about new cultures. Eating delicious food and much more.

Music, Movies, and Books

Warren Buffet and Peter Lynch books. Both of these are very successful investors. I also read one book by Richard Branson, it is an inspirational account of his life.

Indian music, English like Bruno Mars, Green Day, Enrique, etc.

Recently I have also become a great fan of trance music. I love David guetta, Armin van, Teisto, Lena del ray etc.

Recently, I watched the Awkward Moment, I found it be a good relaxing movie. Mostly, I like movies which give you some good message like Pursuit of Happiness. As I have been an investment freak so may be you would have guessed Wolf of the Wall Street, I liked it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
