About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Filling my trip wish lists which is so damn long while still managing to survive the month!

ABOUT ME

From what people keep telling me--i'm a hyperactive munchkin. You can find me paint my room, do wall paper work or even get hyped with mosaic project on weekdays. Once i turn to my party animal mode, we can chat and drink till dawn.

In general, i am very easy-going and laid back. I LOVE dancing salsa and can become crazy from time to time.

I'm dying to go travelling as often as chances given although I don't even know how to read map and have no sense of direction at all--well, that's something we need time to learn, right?

**UPDATE** description above was made in 2006. 6 years have passed, I got older and feel like something should be added here -- no -- my map reading skills haven't improved. I still get lost everywhere I go, even in my own city. I'm still enjoying life and wish to live it to the fullest but am not really a party animal anymore. Rather than loud music with drum and base, a mellow place, good conversation and great company is a perfect combination that can keep me up all night (oh-- and also salsa of course) Before, if it rains, I would be jumping, chasing the raindrop outdoor. Now I would just enjoy reading a book and feel happily sheltered inside.

I still enjoy hosting people but I am also hoping to meet guests who could and would love to share their experiences, passion or a new perspective in life rather than those who are just looking for a place to crash or someone to hang out with -- oh my --now i sound awfully old! hahaha

PHILOSOPHY

Don't live in others' dreams.

Life is short, live it to the fullest!

There's no such thing as mistake. There's only thing you can learn from.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Besides waking up, eating, sleeping, and living each day..I encourage, defend and spread CS concept to everyone I know.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I love touring people around even long before I discovered CS. Now that I did, think i'm already an addicted. To me, couchsurfing is never just about budget travelling. It's more about people you've met along the way, either you host or surf.

I've hosted/partied/made friends with loads of amazing people. *UPDATED* Recently surfed with a wonderful host and the experience made me love CS even more!

Sometimes meeting up means you have to survive hectic traffic to the other side of the city..

Hosting people brings late nights, tiring trips..and even totally plastered!! (hehe)

But oh how I LOVE couchsurfing!! For those who created this wonderful project, i'm sure you know you've done something bigger than your life. Thx from my heart.

Interests

I am very Indian culture-oriented, colorful vibes can always amaze me--Apart from that,I love Traveling, Backpacking, Salsa dancing, House partying,Home decorating, Making friends and touring them around, and of course Eating yummy stuff..hmmm Reading something while sipping magarita on the beach

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I know it's a cliche' but oh well..what can I say...I'm still excited every time i see sunrise and sunset each day..
The most beautiful sunset i've ever seen in my life so far is at Koh Samed, Thailand. Undescribeable enchantment...Imagine the moment when you sink so deep into the scene before you that you just forget everything else exists.

Come visit the beaches in the south of Thailand, you'll fall in love with them just like me!!

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to learn more kinds of dance--be they salsa, ballroom, hip hop, belly dancing, striptease.
