👋🏼 I'm an Explorer who Loves Straightforward Genuine People, Pure Nature, Beautiful Landscapes, Raw Forests, Tasty, and Real Local/Street foods. 

📍Currently living in Kozhikode (Calicut), Kerala

Whenever I have free time, I go Freediving or Swimming. I love open waters. I'm a certified Freediving and Swimming Instructor 🤿 🏊🏼

The majority of my journeys are solo, on a tight budget, and at the last minute. Not by choice but due to circumstances 😂🤗

However, I do enjoy every journey. Whether it is planned, unplanned, or a last-minute one. What I have learnt is that it doesn't matter what type of journey I'm doing, be it big or small, it always has something to offer. Maybe a new friend, maybe a new experience, maybe a lesson, I'm always excited 🤗

If you insist me to just pick one, I would prefer:
- Uncharted Places over Tourist Spots.
- Off Road Traveling over On Road.
- Natural Adventure over Man-made Adventure.
- Traveling over Touring.
- Normal Drinking Water over Carbonated Drinks.
- iOS over Android.

And, I would be stuck in a loop forever if you insist on just picking one from below:
- Mountains OR Beaches.
- Air Travel, OR Sailing, OR Road Travel.
- Planned Traveling OR Unplanned Traveling.
- Sunrise OR Sunset.
- Night OR Day.
- Tea OR Coffee.
Can't pick one 🥴

👉🏼 Send a request if you are interested in staying with me with a note on why you would like to stay with me.

👍🏼 Feel free to message me if you would like to meet, chat over a chai, or embark on a journey together. If time and tides allow, we will make it happen.

🙂 Still in planning mode? Yet to finalize the place(s) to visit? Or if you need more info or any help? Message me. Perhaps I can help.

Until we meet (and beyond),
Enjoy your journey!

😊

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As a traveler, to easily find locals and stay with them. I think It is the best way to deeply explore the place, culture, people, and cuisines. Also, I think, by this way, I can avoid the traps and looting that usually happens in tourist places.

As a local, to help you to visit places that are yet to mark on Google Map that is near to where I'm living. To show you around my village and it's life. Perhaps a small hike into the forest or swimming in our nearby river.

Music, Movies, and Books

Currently trying to read Atomic Habits by James Clear.

Teach, Learn, Share

Would love to learn more and share my knowledge in Swimming, Freediving, Surviving in Open Waters, and Photography

Wanna know how to get better photographs with any camera, how to get better selfies and how to edit those images properly? Then host me 😜

What I Can Share with Hosts

My travel stories. Share my experience in Photography, Open Water Swimming, and Freediving.

If you are not a Malayali, I can teach you some basic sentences that might help you in a conversation with a Malayali.

If my travel is a planned one, I can bring a local treat. If I'm coming with my camera, perhaps, I can take a good photo of you and your family that you can cherish for a lifetime. Could lend a hand in cooking (I just started learning cooking) or house chores.
