Hey there!
I’m originally from the vibrant city of Mumbai but currently living in Doha, Qatar. I'm a 4th-generation perfumist, so you could say fragrance runs in my blood. I love the art of creating scents that tell a story.

Standing at 6 feet tall, I’ve got a big love for travel, discovering hidden corners of the world and meeting people with stories different from my own. Whether it’s a local delicacy or a quiet alleyway off the tourist track, I enjoy exploring every new place with curiosity and an open heart.

I’m a biker at heart, I’ll always choose a bike ride over a car ride (unless it’s pouring, of course!). Good conversations, shared meals and new friendships are what I look forward to the most on this journey.

Looking forward to crossing paths and stories with fellow travelers and kind souls...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To connect with like-minded people across the globe, experience local cultures through genuine human interactions and create lasting memories while sharing stories, laughs, and maybe even a little perfume magic along the way.

Warning: May leave behind the scent of good vibes and unforgettable conversations. 😄

The Book Thief by Markus Zusak – for its quiet depth

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Created a custom perfume inspired by the scent of an ancient souk in Qatar and gifted it to a fellow traveler I met on the road.

What I Can Share with Hosts

The Storyteller & Perfumiest.
I carry scents and stories wherever I go, quite literally.
As a 4th generation perfumiest, I’d be happy to share the art of fragrance, some perfume trivia, or even help you find a scent that matches your personality.
Plus, I never run out of interesting tales.
