CURRENT MISSION

My mission is to collect stories from everywhere and everyone.

ABOUT ME

"Crazy back packer by heart, lame ass office vegetable by compulsion."
My life is about deleting that second sentence soon. :)

PHILOSOPHY

I believe in the random science of experience

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am an observer. I have a bottomless curiosity to hear new stories, observe new places and people, feel new emotions and place myself in situations that allow me to learn more about the world and myself. I write as well. That is how I intend to participate in the world, which kind of explains the observe thing. Unfortunately I also have a bottomless (because it leaks) stomach for which I have a day job with researching new ways to enhance consumerism and spending(!). Although I most happy just bumming around and kicking it with random strangers.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Lots of hosting experiences.
Surfed at Maxy's pad in Kota Kinabalu. Went to his Doctors Annual meet and won an iPhone dock sound system! I gifted it back to him.
Was driving around KK in a radio jockeys car when her 'apparently' love show was on!
In short couch surfing has introduced to so many wonderful experiences and people. It has been a big influence on the person I am today.

Interests

Travelling, Trekking, Back packing, Photography (really amateur), Football, reading, oh, FIFA 12!!!!

Music, Movies, and Books

Gao Xinjian, Orhan Pamuk, Haruki Murakami - I love stories about different countries.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez in a separate line because he writes poetry disguised as novels.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

has to be doing the circuit trek in annapurna (Nepal) with my Dad for his 50th birthday!
Mountain Biking in the Kali Gandaki Valley in Nepal
Hitching for rides 3 days in a row in Kota Kinabalu - it's amazing how people will help you if you just listen to them.

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to learn about you, yes you. I'm deeply interested in anything you want to share with me. I can teach you to be non judgemental, it's something in working towards too but of course it's a never ending process.
I can share the lovely secret of the 'cycle of good deeds'. It does exist.
