I am a software consultant by profession. I travel for work as well as for leisure.
I talk less to strangers, a bit more to acquaintances and blabber tons with friends.
I can be philosophical at times. Don't take me seriously.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The platform can provide an opportunity for meeting new people (hopefully locals). When I travel, I mostly try to comprehend the existence of everything around me, that includes people too. I hope that once in a while I cross path with human being(s) that helps my travel be fun, excitement, learning and philosophical experience.

I could also help others in their travel stay, exploring places around.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In my first solo backpacking trip, I trekked 20 km approx in almost six and half hours in Himalayas (Kheer Ganga, Himachal Pradesh). The body was completely shattered, lifeless , enervated upon completion. I was greeted with a bright sunshine, sweet drizzle, and mother nature at the climax. It was transcendental.

I like to explore any city I stay in. So if I have been staying in a city for more than six months, I can show you around places for food, travel, exploration and other help.
