Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would like to contribute in whatever little way possible to make the person visiting feel welcome and comfortable. Create your own visitor map!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

The specific discussion groups are a good place for information. Have hosted quite a bit now! And met a couple of really interesting people through CS when I was traveling.

Interests

Love reading, Listen to music, watch movies, Long walks, Cycling around the city.

I am learning Flemish and would appreciate any conversation practice that I could get.

Music, Movies, and Books

The Dark Knight was beautiful! And In Bruges had some great moments. I love The Departed among the recent ones. And lots of old stuff like Bodyguard, The Mirror Has Two Faces, Bridge on River Kwai, You've Got Mail, Casablanca etc. etc

I read a lot. The Great Railway Bazaar is one of my favorite travel books. I read a lot of fiction too but no specific author as such.

Listen to all kinds of music, from Old English to latest stuff. I love to attend western classical and jazz performances. EDM and house are the new additions to the genres that I like to explore.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Backpacking in Himalayas. The bare rugged mountains are beautiful. Cycling long distances in form of brevets. Running lots and lots of marathons.

Teach, Learn, Share

Indian cooking. Would love to learn something from others. Not so mpucjh into running these days but happy to walk/cycle around the city with you. :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Cook a meal together. Learn something from the guest. Go to the museums or explore the shopping district.
