ABOUT ME

Been 10 years, i left home and moved around for studies, work and leisure. Was in Mumbai before moving to US for a project. Lived in US for 2 year and half and now based in London.

I love traveling and have lot of places in the list which i still have to explore. I love to travel to beaches, love nature parks, mountains. I'd love to spend weekend on top of mountain, and experience nature, view sunrise and sunset. I love meeting new people, partying, watching movies and electro music. Im night person, and on weekends sometimes im out partying whole night. Weekdays, i prefer to go to bed by midnight or 1 AM. We can go out on weekdays as well :)

PHILOSOPHY

"Work Hard. Party Harder"
"There is first time for everything."
"Whatever happens, happens for Good"
"If people never did silly things, nothing intelligent would ever get done"

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

After joining CS in Mar'08, i was out from the scene for almost 8 months, because of work. Started going for meet-ups and started hosting travelers. Made some real great friends and still in contact with all of them. Hosting was a wonderful experience and have opened my house doors for travelers again, after taking break because of some constraints. Meet CSers in NYC for coffee/drinks/dinner, party-dancing sometimes and different CS/Non-CS events.
Have also helped CSers with information about Princeton and NYC, which really help them to plan out there travel.
