About Me

Smart,intelligent,handsome,witty..an all round superman! I wish :)
I enjoy my thrills and let others enjoy theirs. I respect and appreciate privacy. I am not religious nor spiritual. I am an Indian by birth, schooled in Dubai, college educated in Kerala(India), worked in a couple of cities and been on the road since the WFH revolution.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am just looking to help travelers by providing them a place to stay, help them find their way around and let them be as comfortable as possible in a new city.

Interests

I used to ride an Enfield Thunderbird 350cc, then an Enfield Machismo 350cc, and now a Honda CBR 250cc. Four wheels carry the body, but two wheels carry the soul!

I am a licensed paragliding pilot. In reality, i pee my pants whenever i attempt to fly.

I enjoy swimming and miss being on a beach almost everyday.

I have done a lot of trekking in Karnataka and the Himalayas, and am always on the lookout for trekking partners.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One month long Hitchhiking trip from Bangalore to Sikkim, with the aim of finally seeing the Kanchenjunga peak(India's highest). Started the 8 day Yuksam Dzongri GoecheLa trekking trail,only to fall to chicken pox and give up on the second day.

On a more positive note, I successfully completed the Annapurna and Everest base camp treks in Nepal.
