About Me

I am Baaaaaack!!! After a 2 year hiatus from Couch Surfing, I am back. With a whole new place to accommodate guests. A totally individual room with an en-suite bath.

CURRENT MISSION

In search of the next Adventure
30 Countries Experienced so far, Where will the 31st be?

ABOUT ME

Generally when people ask me something interesting about myself, I say "I was born in Sri Lanka, brought up in the Arabian Gulf and now I am stuck in India"

I am someone who never likes to get worked up on things, I like to take everything positively and enjoy every moment of life.

I love to have fun, usually hang out with my friends and colleagues at restaurants or at movie theaters. I love nature, especially when it is very very green. I have taken into photography both of nature and of people and love capturing worldly beauty.

When I travel, I love meeting new people, understanding cultures and lives and like to live life as a local rather than a tourist.

.... There is a whole lot more, but I shall leave it for our conversations :)

PHILOSOPHY

The world is a small place to live in, paths are bound to cross. One should not tread on another's toes, rather one must help the other.

Live and Let live.

Life is very short. Enjoy every moment of it. It is important to remember the little things make your life worth living.

People may come, people may go, but you will always be. Live life the way you want to live it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

As a Host
I know quite a few languages and am willing to teach CSers.
I love riding my bike and car and would love to take CSers around the city.

As a Guest

I would most definately help around the house of my host, I even cook well so would be interested in cooking if needed.
And if anyone wants to get their photo profile done, I would be more than willing to do it for you.

Interests

I love watching movies, I can watch movies 24 hours a day.
Photography is a passion which I am trying to convert into a profession.
Travelling, there is nothing that excites me more than visiting a new place

With both those passions combined, I am not sure if I photograph when I travel or travel just for my photography.
Technology and Gaming freak, loving playing games that have Real Life graphics.
