About Me

Coming from a country that believes in 'Vasudhaiva Kudumbakam' (Sanskrit, meaning: The whole world is the real family) - India, I always wanted to connect with more and more people worldwide. Whenever I make a new friend on the road, I grow my family and always keep those relationship warm and fresh.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

So far I have traveled mainly through Asian countries like Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, China and India. Now I am in Europe for my masters degree and backpacked through Italy, Spain and France. Europe always has wonders hidden in its cellars and finding and enjoying those are my dream like any other traveler. Being a self-funded student, cost is always a big concern in my travels, but I never let that be an obstacle to chase dreams.

Interests

I am an big lover of music, spicy food and engineering. I love cooking and teaching people different styles of cooking! I like deep conversations about philosophy, literature and unexplained mysteries of the world. I love hiking to the mountains, and forest camping. Backpacking is my way of travel most of the time, but interested in hitchhiking also, if I could get a compatible co-traveler.
