About Me

Currently working remotely fromTenerife. Before that I was in Zurich for 5 years and 6 years in the SF Bay Area. Originally from India.

I love to travel, and I like moving around, doing sportive things. I like cooking food and hosting parties at my place.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love hearing stories of travel in couch surfing and get inspired.

I used to host in couchsurfing when I was in Zurich (pre-covid) and starting again now that I am living in Tenerife.

My house in Tenerife is quite large and I frequently bring friends over and have parties with food and board games, esp on weekend. A heated pool keeps the winter away.

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.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Have a nice house with excellent infinite views of the ocean and an amazing swimming pool.

Ping-pong.
Indian Food.

Unfortunately I am very busy with work these days and so I won't be able to show you around during the week. Also the place is slightly remote, so if you are coming by public transport it is slightly complicated and make sure to allow some time for the travel.
