About Me

____________________________________________________________

Hello, fellow travellers. Welcome to my profile.

I am an Indian living in Switzerland. I am an avid traveller and adventurous. Always up for a crash course in languages and cultures ;) I love hiking and trying out all kinds of adventure sports.
Being a photography enthusiast I like to document my travels on my blog for my university. I love having deep discussions about philosophy, life, science, psychology. I am always up for some good coffee and interesting conversations. I really appreciate spending time with honest and genuine people.

My motto:
It doesn't interest me what you do for a living. I want to know what you ache for- and if you dare to dream of meeting your hearts longing. It doesn't interest me how old you are. I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool- for love for your dreams for the adventure of being alive.

My life: A part-time scientist and full-time troublemaker :D

My philosophy- Life is lived out on a wire, the rest is just waiting

**Try me if you are adventurous**

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's a great way to meet the locals, spend time with them, and learn interesting things. Moreover, I love cross-cultural exchange and meeting new and awesome people.
** I dislike the idea of luxurious travel. I am here on couch surfing to offer a helping hand, show people my amazing city, drink good coffee ( life is too short for drinking bad coffee ) and have good and memorable conversations. I believe travelling is about meeting new people, having good times, exchanging cultures.
That's what I plan to offer by being a part of the couch surfing community.

*I had started my account before my Masters in Sweden and sadly I didn't have much time to contribute to the community. But now since have finished it I would like to be an active member of the community

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Paragliding(License). That moment when you jump off the cliff with the faith that gliders will keep you safe.
For once you have tasted flight you will walk the earth with your eyes turned skywards, for there you have been and there you will long to return.
