Overview
About Me
I’m a practicing advocate, married, and blessed with two wonderful children. My profession has shaped the way I think — I’m reflective and analytical by nature, yet I live in the body of an extrovert who loves meeting new people and exchanging ideas.
My mind is always exploring something new, and I carry the heart of a nomad — never content to stay in one place or see the world from just one point of view. This curiosity helps me step into others’ shoes and truly appreciate how different minds and lives work.
At heart, I’m a traveler — not just across places, but across experiences, stories, and perspectives. I love meaningful conversations, shared laughter, and the kind of connections that make travel unforgettable.
My interest lies in making new friends and meeting new people, with the hope to learn about different experiences and cultures, and the regular lives that are not me. I also love exploring new ways to make travel pocket friendly.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I’m here to explore Couchsurfing with a curious mind, eager to understand how complete strangers choose to stay at someone’s place and share their time and stories. I look forward to experiencing this unique exchange both as a guest and as a host, creating meaningful connections along the way.
Interests
Making new friends, learning about different cultures and lives, traveling smart, and building a global family of fellow travelers.

Music, Movies, and Books
I love listening to classic Hindi Bollywood songs from the ’90s — they never fail to lift my mood.
I enjoy movies that feel alive — especially when watched with people who bring their own stories and laughter into the experience.
When it comes to books, I’m drawn to real-life stories, personal experiences, and meaningful conversations. I love hearing others share their journeys and connecting with strangers fearlessly to learn from them.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
The most amazing thing I’ve done is marrying my wife — my greatest adventure partner in life. The second would be discovering and introducing Couchsurfing into our lives, opening the door to new friendships, stories, and experiences from around the world.
Teach, Learn, Share
I would love to guide people not only through the city but also through their emotions and hearts if they so desire. I also have a lot to teach from my own experiences or travel and life overall.
I long to learn about new thoughts, new ideas, new habits and experiences, or different ways of the world that I am unaware of.
What I Can Share with Hosts
Both my wife and I are working professionals, but we love to break away from the routine and embrace experiences like Couchsurfing. I am committed to doing whatever I can to make our guest’s stay a memorable one.
We can offer food at our place if requested, or provide guidance and arrange for a variety of local cuisine available in and around the city. I can also help arrange transportation to explore the city. We would love to spend time with our guests after dinner, engaging in conversations that could last late into the night, and, if time permits, I can even show them around the city to make their stay truly special.
