I first heard about Couchsurfing in 2015 while exploring as a Google Local Guide but didn’t dive into it then. Later, I saw Tomislav Perko’s video on budget travel and found Couchsurfing the best way to host or be hosted. I love its concept—it lets me experience new cultures, meet people, step out of my comfort zone, make friends, help hosts, and travel safely!

Music: I mostly enjoy instrumental music, but it depends on my mood. I also like rock, hip-hop, Indian classical, Bollywood, Himalayan chants, and trance. Books: I’m an avid reader with a home library! I enjoy fiction, autobiographies, thrillers, and suspense—almost anything. My motto: "I read till I get tired, but I never seem to get tired of reading." Some favorite authors include Ruskin Bond, Conan Doyle, Mark Twain, Satyajit Ray, and Jim Corbett. Movies: I prefer meaningful films with a message, mostly supernatural or comedy. I also enjoy documentaries and vlogs.
