About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Starting University

ABOUT ME

Adventurous, humorous, creative, curious and big smiles.-I love organising parties, indoors or outdoors, legal or illegal. I think its a great way to bring people together and have fun.-I'm always on the look out for one of those huge ghettoblasters they had in those 80's rap videos.-I collect vinyl. Infact, I like anything analogue.-I'm half Italian, half Indian but have lived most of my life in London. I now live in Berlin since 4 years.-Watching foreign films.-Exploring abandoned buildings.-Snowboarding is my favourite sport because I can jump off ridiculous cliffs and land into pillows of snow. -I am interested in history. -I love to travel, meet people, see their talents, learn about other cultures and to be inspired.-I don't like going to the zoo because I always feel sad for the animals.

PHILOSOPHY

Respecting other people's opinions and keeping the doors of learning & culture open.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have been all over the world but Couch Surfing has made the experience of travelling so much more interesting and enriching. I get to hang out with the locals, be able to participate with the culture and exchange ideas. I am a big fan and would recommend it to anyone.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

When I first moved to Berlin, I had no friends and no place to stay. While looking for a job and a room to rent, I couch surfed with different people who made me feel welcome to this new city, offered me advice and in the process I created some great friendships with people I still hang out with today. Iwould like to offer the same in return.
