About Me

Hello,
Welcome to my profile!!

I have been based in Malaysia for work on and off since June 2023 but also in Mumbai when not needed in Malaysia. My 20s were spent living in US (grad school, work). It was almost for a decade but I have been back in India since 2021. Even though I was born in India, I acquired and have an American accent 😅

Note:
I have a disability due to a car accident I was in. This limits my walking distance and ability to lift objects and such. Also means I cannot be spontaneous with my plans or I risk over exerting myself. If there is a car available or tourist attractions nearby public transport.. I can weather through.

So yeah, thats me in a nutshell!!

As far as hosting goes, I am unable to host as I have been traveling for work in Malaysia and staying in hotels-airbnb as part of it. And when back in India- I live with family in shared space. Once I move back to US or take residence in a different country/city in future I would be way better suited to host.

Feel free to DM if you plan on visiting Mumbai/Singapore/Malaysia or the city I am traveling through. It'll be great to meet fellow travelers if logistics-schedules permit.

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to music not too often but favorite genre is instrumental,bluegrass. Anything that is calming.

Not much of a movie or books guy. But action, romcoms and documentaries. No horror 😅

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I used to be wheelchair bound for 1.5 years after my car accident. So being not bound to it, I think it was an amazing achievement for me personally in many ways.

Teach, Learn, Share

I read birth charts using Vedic (Indian) astrology principles. Not an expert by any stretch of the imagination haha. But I like to as it involves researching planetary aspects and correlations from peoples lives to make/understand readings.

Would love to learn intricacies of finance, music, self sustaining practices such as farming, psychology.

As far as sharing, more than happy to share meals, time talking together and an honest opinion without the sugar coating 😂 (if you need one)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love to listen & watch people. So if you need someone to keep company in this tiring stressful pace of life, I'm here. Also I am constantly told that I am extremely easy to open up to. Plus there is an added benefit that I enjoy sharing hugs & cuddles with opposite sex with consent.
