🔖 Read thoroughly before sending me a Couch Request….

“Strictly, a BIG NO to copy-paste and ChatGPT requests”

- An absolutely STRAIGHT guy, so bottom and top up recharges, pls do not bother. Respect my sexuality and I’ll respect yours….

- Entrepreneur | Writer/Filmmaker | Activist | Karma Believer | Vegetarian | Proud Couchsurfer

- Honest, sraightforward, blunt and realistic old school boy. Don't like faking things. Highly opinionated but a non-judgemental person…. Love good humour, fun and memes!

- I frequently travel between Mumbai, Goa, Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh and Delhi.

- Please don’t text me or suggest meeting up just to sound or look cool. Mumbai is chaotic and complex if you’re not well-placed location-wise…. When I agree to meet, it often means rescheduling my work or saying no to others. I value genuine conversations over random words. Let’s keep it meaningful!

- If I message you first, it’s purely to help, regardless of gender or race. I reach out to ensure you have the best start, reliable information, and a smoother experience, because that’s what the CS community is about.

- I’m originally from Prayagraj - a Holy city in the North. I was born in Agra-UP, brought up in 10+ cities across Assam, UP, Punjab, Delhi, Gujarat and Maharashtra. Have lived and travelled extensively around India, perks of being a Fauji Kid 😎

- I’m a KVite, an extraordinary, fearless, straightforward and principled man with masculine traits such as resilience, determination, and leadership. I approach challenges head-on and stand firmly for what I believe is right. I value honesty, intelligence and cuteness.

- I’m allergic to mediocrity and stupidity - so if you “tyPe LyK dis” or like to say or hear the same thing repeatedly, and do not like to use your brain thinking someone else will do it for you, kindly don’t bother.

- I can also help you with recommendations and guidance about places other than Mumbai city 🌆

PLEASE NOTE:
- Pls don’t bother If you’re a Fokatiya (Freeloader) or/and a Chutiya (Jerk)

- This isn't a dating app, so let's stick to talking about travel. If you're feeling flirtatious or horny, you can ask me for my Bumble link, and I will happily unmatch you there 😀

- Please DO NOT send me a Couch request if you’re dirty, you don’t like to take bath because you hitchhike, if hitchhiking is staying dirty then leave it, but please take bath and keep yourself clean instead of making shitttty excuses like “oohhh bro you know bro I’ve been hitchhiking bro, so I hardly get water bro, and when I get water I don’t get time bro, and when I get both, I don’t feel like taking bath brooo because I get tired broooooo, ohh bro understand my situation broooo, immmmaaa hitchhiker broooooo, give me just a corner of your home bro, that’s enough for me to make your entire place stink with shit brooooooo……
Ohh bro, I’m sorry broooo, and strictly a NO BROOOOOOOO! 😅 (pls do not die laughing)

- I don’t like to meet people just to get references, I meet them to make memories.

- I'm passionate about hosting, sharing experiences and discussing various stuff related to the life with fellow Couchsurfers.

- IMPORTANT NOTE FOR GUESTS:
As your host, I prioritize clear communication and mutual respect. Please ensure:-
• You arrive at the agreed-upon time or inform me in advance if you’re delayed, especially for arrivals between midnight and early morning.
• You do not bring additional guests without prior approval. (After chatting with me for nearly 10 days, a female traveller brought along an uninvited man she met on her connecting flight, as the guy played on her safety concerns, just to “check” if my place was safe for her, LOL 🤣🤣) Pls don’t disrespect your host doing such nonsense!
• Please respect that my role as a host includes ensuring a comfortable and safe experience for everyone, as I understand my responsibilities both as a host and as a man.

MY APPROACH:
I refrain from attending regular Couchsurfing meetups due to a disappointing observations, many individuals attend solely to collect references, they treat CS meet-ups like reference speed-dating, without genuine interest in fostering meaningful connections.
I've encountered instances where individuals have provided references after minimal interaction, prompting me to question their authenticity. I once got a reference from someone I barely spoke to for a minute, and then the same person was aggressively following me up for the reference. Lol 🤣

IDENTIFYING FAKE COUCHSURFERS:
- To help maintain the integrity of the Couchsurfing community, it's essential to be vigilant in identifying fake people. Here are some RED FLAGS to watch out for:

- They collect more personal references than Pokémon cards.
- Their references sound like they were written by a robot with a thesaurus.
- Lack of hosting activity, often attributed to familial restrictions, not because they can’t host but because they’ve a family at home and their family don’t know they’re on Couchsurfing, lol 😆
- Attendance at meetups with ulterior motives, disrupting the genuine atmosphere.
- Dishonesty regarding personal & professional backgrounds.

BRING ME: Smile, Laugh, Chocolates, Cheese 🧀

- I’m a typical Scorpio, if that matters. Also, my humour is contagious. I love good humour, fun and memes.
- Elon Musk & Snoopdogg are my favourites.

I CAN HELP:
- with comfortable and a memorable stay
- delicious vegetarian food
- WiFi
- personalised itineraries all over 🇮🇳 with best recommendations
- can add you in my traveler’s WhatsApp group
- can be your photographer if we’re strolling together
- local contacts and genuine references in other parts of India
- can help in free stays in cities other than Mumbai…..

Current MISSION

To live joyfully, help CS community without any vested interest and cherish life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Have met a lot of interesting travelers over coffee, drinks/dinner.

🤘 Hosting experiences have been fantastically fine till date.
