Hey! I am originally from India and have been living in Amsterdam for the past couple of years, working full-time at OTA as a researcher. I love meaningful conversations, exploring new cultures, and sharing stories over coffee (or chai!).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I actually made this profile back in 2015… and then life just flew by! I did a Workaway in 2023 and absolutely loved the experience - the people, the culture, the conversations. Now I am hoping to make similar connections through Couchsurfing. I can’t always take time off for long volunteer trips, so this feels like a great way to travel more meaningfully and meet amazing people along the way.

Interests

I am into design, cooking (especially Indian food), tech, travel, and anything that gets me curious - whether it’s learning something new, geeking out on a random idea, or dreaming up small business plans. Lately I’ve been really into the idea of off-grid living, camping, and spending more time in nature.

Teach, Learn, Share

Happy to share Indian cooking, a bit of Hindi, or design research stuff. I would love to learn about your culture, daily life, or anything you’re passionate about. Always happy to brainstorm, exchange ideas, and share stories.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can cook you a tasty Indian meal, chat about life, design, or just nerd out about books, tech, or travel. I’m easygoing, clean, and respectful - happy to hang out if you’re free, or explore on my own if you’re not.
