✈ Commercial Airline Ancillary. 🎹 Piano-man. 🎤 Music addict. I believe in happy basics, thinking optimistic in times of chaos, I am spontaneous and instinctive. Take one day at a time and live with no regrets. I'm fascinated to learn about different global cultures, music and mindsets of people who travel from across the globe. Solo travel is commendable 💙 My roots are mixed between Portuguese and Indian, as I was raised on a small island city Mumbai-Goa with a Portuguese grandmother and studied& worked in Bombay and then moved to live and work in Dubai. I'm handy with travel hacks at airports and realtime flight updates..be ready for avionic lingo!! You can reach out if you need any information about airplanes, terminals, missing bags, airline regulations, visas or public transportation options around Dubai.. more than happy to assist!

One thing I learned traveling that I brought home with me is...
I learned that the world feels a lot less like a map and a lot more like a constellation of people waiting to share a moment, a wave, a smile. Every place has its own rhythm if you listen closely. Traveling with a backpack, drifting between local buses, and chasing music festivals taught me that connection isn’t something you hunt for across borders — it’s something you stumble into when you show up as yourself and let the world shift you a little. I brought home the art of being present: noticing the poetry in strangers, the music in movement, and the way even the smallest encounter can become a verse in a much bigger song of life. Staying curious, open, and willing to say yes to the unexpected has shown me just how much there still is to find. And every time I sneak that openness back into my backpack, I carry the instinct to slow down, follow the sound of music, and treat every day like it might turn into a story worth telling.
Why I'm on Couchsurfing
Travel is a bliss, everywhere you go has a raw energy, let it energise your soul. I wish to explore and meet interesting people who are like minded and ready for culture exchange. If you're thinking, why host me ? -I am an enthusiastic traveler who values the richness of cultural exchange. -I appreciate the warmth and insights that locals bring to a travel experience. -I am respectful of personal space and believe in contributing positively to the community I visit. If you're open to sharing your local expertise and perhaps a corner of your home during my stay, I would be immensely grateful. I'm not just looking for a place to stay but an opportunity to connect with the heart and soul of people through their incredible journeys and amazing travel stories!!
