About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Fully Vaccinated

I had an amazing surfing experience with wonderful hosts in Europe in 2015, 2017 2019 and 2021. Now I am back to hosting for cultural exchange and to give back to the community
ABOUT ME:
Hmmmm..Indeed, a very difficult task to describe myself. I am passionate, romantic,straight,laid back, fun-loving, easy going but caring and sincere at the same time. I believe in long lasting friendships. Depending upon my mood, I like to be with friends or alone with just myself. But I always prefer 1 or 2 friends over larger groups. I like to be outdoors, sight of rivers, lakes makes me happy.I may not be good at communication skills but am a good listener..what more?Come and meet me to form an opinion:) yourself..ciao..ciao.

I am a non-smoker and a Vegetarian but I am OK if you smoke. I love European beers, ready for a good brew anytime...I am a Vegetarian myself but I have nothing against people who eat meat. I am as straight as an arrow and it would be great to enjoy cold beers with cool beer buddies.

PHILOSOPHY
Do Good Be Good

trying to find one...:)you may help me in this..

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Couchsurfing is the best way to experience other cultures, learn their way of living and make new friends.
I am always happy to open up my home to visitors. They can have a spare bedroom with private bathroom, freely use my living room and a fully loaded kitchen, drink beers and eat food from my fridge and use my washing machine. I usually never refuse to host if I am home.

I have a car and when I have free time, I love to show around Delhi and nearby places or take guests to my Mother's house in my hometown on weekends. If I am not able to host due to compelling reasons, I still try to meet up for a walk or beer.

You will have the keys of my apartment and can come and go as you please. No restrictions on guests except a request that please do not bring meat into my home.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have been hosting since my school days. Several people from Belgium, Canada, China, Denmark, France, Germany, Serbia, Sweden, UK and USA have stayed by me from couchsurfing besides my penfriends . It is a wonderful way to learn about different cultures, lifestyles and ways of thinking. I had amazing experience with some wonderful hosts during my trips to Europe in August 2015, and again in 2017 ,2019 and 2021.They were sincerely welcoming and opened up their homes and hearts for me.

Still waiting to see and do some such thing...

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can bring good vibes, teach basic Hindi, and share smiles, laughter and experiences. I don't mind helping with cooking and washing dishes though I am not a good cook:( And can tell you my stories if you have time and interest for them. I am neat and tidy and shower regularly- everyday sometimes twice a day;) I will do my best to keep your place absolutely clean. I am trustworthy and prefer hosts who can give me flexibility to come and go anytime.
