Putting smile on faces I meet...:D

ABOUT ME

I'm an engineer-turned-policy person. Have developed taste buds for unique travel experiences. Cultures, cuisines and nature are things I am interested in. Enjoy conversations about spirituality, life and death, philosophy, geopolitics and international affairs.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Hosting in places I live and surfing when I travel around. Also, organized a few traveler meetups, 'walk and talk' and indoor-outdoor hangout sessions.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Had a week long trip in upper Normandy (France) and spent time with different interesting people in Etretat and Le harve. Had a wonderful experience staying with hosts.

Travelled around Costa Brava (South of France and Catalonia) for 2 weeks. One of the best travel experiences - walking around tiny, beautiful, picture-perfect medieval villages - staying with locals and trading stories.

Hiked the Great Wall of China from farthest end for 11 miles and reached the 'last tower' for a mind-blowing view.
