About Me

Still waiting for something that will knock me off my senses and just grab hold of me. Elicit some passion. Guide me. Excite me. Perhaps it is high time I begin looking eh?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Yes, there is the ever reliable Lonely Planet, Fodor's and Rough Guides to fuel your wanderlust, to help you understand a place as a tourist. And then there is the local lad who has lived there all his life and who is willing to show you around. Take your pick!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Had the most amazing time, thanks to my awesome host!

Interests

I was into numismatics for a while- still have a decent collection to show for it. Wrote poems for a bit, 60+ in 2 weeks to be exact-let's just say there are poets and then there are those who think they are poets. I tried my hand at sports (soccer, rugby, cricket, table tennis)-and found out that my motor skills are terrible. Did volunteer work for a bit-didn't want to be burdened by existentialist concerns. A latent desire to travel the world-meticulously reined in by economics.

Keeps changing. I lose interest fast. But that also means that over the years, I have tried out many things.
