“Kindly ensure you read my profile thoroughly before sending a couch request. I’ll respond promptly as soon as I log in, so you won’t have to wait long!”

- 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 & a Proud Couchsurfer

🔖 Read thoroughly before sending me a Couch Request….
“Strictly, a BIG NO to copy-paste requests”

My Bio, Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics & History:
- 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 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)

- A special fuck-off to those who only have one profile picture, and it's a group photo with half a dozen people in it.

- 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/Hinge link 😀

- 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 and strictly NO BROOOOOOOO

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

- I'm passionate about hosting and sharing experiences with fellow Couchsurfers. However, I've noticed a concerning trend within the community that I feel compelled to address.

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 observation: 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.

IMPORTANT:
- If someone claims to know me outside of Couchsurfing but lacks a reference from me on their profile, it's likely a false assertion. I believe in authenticity and transparency within our community, and I encourage others to do the same. Meeting someone and knowing someone are 2 different ends. NEVER give reference to people you’re not 💯% sure about.

Despite encountering challenges, I'm still optimistic and down for genuine connections and epic Couchsurfing experiences. So, if you're up for real talks, real laughs, and real adventures, hit me up!
