About Me

I keep on travelling for work a lot and do not check my messages that time. Hence if I do not reply to your message in 2 days, please look for another host. I apologize in advance.

I am a textile and fashion designer by education, marketing and project consultant by profession and traveller by passion. Fortunately, I could find a nice balance between my education and passion in my profession.
So I have a fulfilling life!
Very recently I have founded my own brand for custom rugs & carpets, named Studio Esotery.

If you are a genuine traveller willing to know about me, then please read the references.
My super awesome surfer friends have described me much better than I could have had. :)

P.S. Unknown people saying 'HI BABE', 'HEY BEAUTIFUL' etc. freak me out.
I have a tendency of blocking people who mistakenly download Couch Surfing instead of Tinder and start Tindering around here.
There is Airbnb if you are just looking for an accommodation. I use Couch surfing ONLY for Couch Surfing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet different people from different countries, cultures and social backgrounds..

I believe that the people add more value and beauty to the places; not just the landscapes and infrastructure.
I might not be able to see every inch of this planet in this lifetime but through couch surfing I can meet people from every corner of the world, listen to their stories and that's how I plan to see the world!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

There are plenty! In a life of a traveller, there is no scarcity of such experiences! But if i have to mention, then there are two-
1- I have been attacked & bitten by 300+ honeybees while rock climbing, ran down 50 ft of straight rock only holding the nylon rope which practically melted my palms but survived to tell the tale!
2- Planned am impromptu trip to Nepal, took a 24 hour bus from Delhi to Kathmandu. But when the bus crossed the border Nepal was closed for a day. Spent 12 hours in a tiny village. Only to reach Kathmandu in the middle of the night next day after total of 47 hours, pheww! Longest bus journey ever!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach my surfers to cook simple Indian food and chai.
I can offer you travel tips to make your travel easy in my country. And when I have time I can even show you around my town and the local places which aren't a hit on your map :)

I would love to learn your recipes and basic words/ sentences from your language!
It would be even better if you can enlighten me about anything you have knowledge of, e.g. cultures, traditions, history, places.

P.S. I have ukulele at home. So if you can play it and teach me a bit it will awesome!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am a storyteller like my father!
So, if we are on same page, I can offer unlimited cups of chai, home made food, simple place to sleep and lots of stories!
But it has to be a barter; I would love to listen to your adventures more!
