Overview
About Me
"Traveller by passion, activist by choice, storyteller by heart."
Born and raised in the heart of Delhi, I’m lucky enough to call a spacious family home my base — but my heart is always on the road. I love to travel, meet new people, and soak in different cultures, because I believe every conversation has the power to change your perspective.
Apart from being a curious traveler, I wear a few more hats — I’m a social activist, a writer, and a freelance model. Not claiming to be multi-talented (God might’ve just sprinkled a little extra creativity on me, lol), but I do believe in making life colorful and meaningful.
For me, Couchsurfing isn’t just about a place to stay — it’s about sharing stories, laughter, and experiences that you’ll carry long after the trip is over. Whether it’s wandering through hidden lanes, trying street food, or just chilling over deep late-night talks, I’m all in.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
For me, Couchsurfing is more than travel — it’s about human connections. I’m here to meet amazing people, share unforgettable moments, and make friends across the world. I love experiencing a city not just through its monuments, but through its kitchens, conversations, and daily life. Every culture has its own magic, and I want to live it — not just read about it.
Interests
I love teaching and learning about different cultures and cuisines from around the world. I’m always excited to meet people from different walks of life and build friendships that cross borders. In short, I’m in love with food, wine, and travel.
I’m also a dog lover, an adventure enthusiast, and someone who enjoys mountain biking, paragliding, and long drives — preferably with Latin music playing. I live for night outs filled with laughter, spontaneous plans, and capturing it all through my vlogs.

Music, Movies, and Books
Movies
I’m into stories that inspire, entertain, and stay with you. My favourites include:
The Pursuit of Happyness, Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara, Forrest Gump, Before Sunrise, The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, V for Vendetta, Into the Wild, and La La Land.
Music
I like music that feels like a journey — whether it’s something to dance to or something to think over.
Some favourites: Ed Sheeran – Perfect, Coldplay – Viva La Vida, Norah Jones – Don’t Know Why, La Santa Cecilia – Treinta Días, The Twist – Chubby Checker, and LeAnn Rimes – How Do I Live.
Books
I enjoy books that open the mind and touch the heart.
Some that I love: The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho, Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom, Sapiens by Yuval Noah Harari, and The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I had the rare opportunity to meet the Jarawa tribes in the tropical forests of the Andaman & Nicobar Islands — one of the most isolated and fascinating communities in the world. Experiencing their unique way of life, untouched by modern civilization, was truly unforgettable.

What I Can Share with Hosts
I have a spacious home in Delhi where I can offer either a single or shared room with single or double beds — depending on what makes you comfortable.
You’re welcome to enjoy breakfast, lunch, and dinner with me. My home is equipped with Wi-Fi, a fan, air conditioning, and you’re free to use my laptop if needed.
For getting around, I have a motorbike and two cars. I can even share my car for trips to destinations within 500 km of Delhi (just cover fuel and road taxes).
Beyond facilities, I’m happy to share:
-My travel experiences and stories
-Home-cooked meals (I love cooking)
-A taste of local and countryside life
-Information and tips for exploring India affordably
-Sometimes, we can even travel together to nearby spots
For me, hosting is about making you feel welcome, comfortable, and part of my world — not just giving you a place to sleep.
