About Me

Living in Switzerland since July 2018. Before that 6 years in San Francisco, and before that an eternity in India.

I love to travel, and I travel for travelings sake. When I can't travel, I couch-surf people and get to know their stories and get inspired and find new places and cool things.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Life is tough so it's better to share the burden.

Not really, just coz i am bored sometimes and crave company.

Interests

Mainly looking at mountains. ;P

Hiking and travelling.
Backpacking to different countries and meet people.
Photography (not the smartphone kind).
Skiing, sailing, kayaking, swimming, sledding.

Music, Movies, and Books

Classic Rock. Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Beatles, Imagine Dragons, Sigur Ros.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am usually very chill. I look for new experiences everywhere. Can teach you how to cook Indian food, and would love to learn more about your local cuisine.

A BBQ with a lake view at my balcony after you go take a swim in the lake.
A home cinema experience on a 150" screen.
