Hey future fellow friends and travellers,I am a professional Musician and perform as a multi instrumentalist around the world.

An economist by qualification,I left my job at KPMG long time back to pursue my passion for music.

For me your religion,looks,color,physique and nationality do not matter,as they were all given to you by natural selection and you have no control over that,what matters to me is what you do with the one brain and heart you have in this life,how you behave with other human beings and how you approach your life to find meaning and fulfillment in the best way you can.

I'm also a TEDx talk speaker,so i can really talk a lot about psychology,life and philosophy and finding meaning and purpose of life and of course music.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am a musician and travel to different cities in India and sometimes different countries for performances hence sometimes i want to meet more travellers or local people in that country.

I will be coming to Istanbul,Turkey to perform for 2 performances at a destination wedding on 21st June 2025 and shall stay in Istanbul till 26th june 2025,would be great to connect to the local people there or to fellow travellers.

Interests

Minimalism -Spend on experiences rather than on things.

Music - i love music,period.

Cooking - If you want to enjoy your life and have an impact on this world,you need to not die young,so I like to cook healthy but tasty food.

Economics and finance - If say I do live beyond 50,I need to invest my money well today so that inflation doesn't eat it up and I can travel and live healthy even when I am sick or old or to retire early and travel 😁

There are soooo many movies but one movie which just strikes me as the first one is Life is beautiful,
Music,well i think this place would be too short for that since i love so many different kinds of music

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Quitting my 6 figure job as a consultant to become a musician and was the best decision of my life.

Teach, Learn, Share

Can teach you music and play some music for you

What I Can Share with Hosts

I always travel with my flute,and sometimes Panflute and Violin,so I can give you some flute or 🎻 lessons or even give some tips and secrets on music.🎺🎶
