About Me

"Namaste, fellow adventurers! 🌏✨

I've had the privilege of working across India's vibrant landscape – from the bustling corridors of government innovation to the grassroots of community resilience.

My ideal day? Swapping stories over a steaming cup of masala chai, exploring hidden gems in Delhi or brainstorming creative solutions to local challenges.

What you can expect:

1. A cozy corner in the heart of Delhi or Gurgaon
2. Insider tips on the best street food and spiritual spots
3. Lively discussions on culture, innovation, and making a difference
4. A willing participant for impromptu photography walks or meditation sessions
5. I believe in the power of human connection to bridge cultures and inspire change. Whether you're a fellow social entrepreneur, a curious traveler, or simply someone with a story to share, I'm excited to welcome you into my world – or to be welcomed into yours!

Let's create memories, exchange ideas, and maybe even spark a collaboration that makes the world a little bit better. After all, isn't that what travel is all about?

Safe travels, and hope to connect soon!"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on Couchsurfing because I believe in the transformative power of human connections. As someone who's dedicated their career to social impact and communication, I've seen firsthand how sharing stories and experiences can bridge cultural divides and inspire positive change.
Couchsurfing, to me, is more than just a way to travel or host – it's a platform for:

1. Cultural Exchange: Every traveler carries a unique perspective shaped by their homeland. I'm eager to learn about different cultures, traditions, and ways of thinking from people around the globe.
2. Authentic Experiences: Whether I'm hosting in Delhi or surfing elsewhere, I'm looking for genuine interactions that go beyond tourist hotspots. I want to see cities through the eyes of locals and share the hidden gems of my own city.
3. Idea Exchange: My background in innovation and social development has taught me that great ideas can come from unexpected places. I'm excited to engage in thought-provoking discussions that might spark new solutions to global challenges.
4. Personal Growth: Each Couchsurfing experience is an opportunity to challenge my preconceptions, broaden my horizons, and become a more empathetic global citizen.
5. Paying It Forward: The kindness of strangers has often made my travels memorable. I'm here to reciprocate that kindness and contribute to this amazing community of open-minded individuals.

Whether you're a fellow social impact enthusiast, a curious traveler, or someone with a unique story to share, I'm looking forward to connecting, learning, and creating memorable experiences together. Let's make the world a little smaller and a lot friendlier, one couch at a time!
