About Me

Travelling Filmmaker Who Believes Strangers Make the Best Stories
I'm on a journey of self exploration.. Film maker Guy🏃
I travel alot and make content ❤️

a filmmaker, director, cinematographer, and editor from India.
I love capturing stories through my lens, whether it’s a mountain trail, a quiet beach, a crowded festival, or a simple smile.

I’m a talkative, calm, and slightly extroverted person who connects easily with people. Spiritually inclined, I enjoy deep conversations about life as much as I enjoy spontaneous laughter with strangers who become friends.

Travel, music, and culture shape my life. I’m always ready for a raw, authentic travel experience — whether it’s hiking in the wild or exploring a new city with no plans.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe the real beauty of travel lies in people, not places.
During my travels across India and East Africa, the most memorable moments came from strangers who helped me, talked with me, or shared their homes.

I once travelled across India without any money, relying purely on kindness and human connection — and it changed the way I see the world.

Now I want to return that kindness, host travellers, and exchange stories, perspectives, and cultures.

This world is a one big family and i truly believe that..

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'm exploring life... I've lot of things to share but i feel we should really speak more and type less ..

I’ve travelled widely across India — mountains, beaches, forests, temples, cities — and parts of East Africa.
I also document my journeys on YouTube:
“Rare Productions” and “Thoda Jyada Rare”
(For anyone who loves authentic, raw travel storytelling!)

One of my favourite travel memories was my no-money India trip — where I learned the power of trust and human kindness.
