For SURFERS (if you send me a request to host you) 🌊🏄‍♂️🌏
Please request at least 24 hours in advance so that we can sort the logistics and ALWAYS include an alternative medium of communication (whatsapp, insta or any other). Thank you!

For HOSTS (if you receive a request from me to be hosted by you) 🛌🏡🛋
I always read the profile and draft a personalised request for being hosted. Still if (for any reason) you decline the request, kindly provide a FEEDBACK and give reasons why you can not host. Thank you!

One-liner:
An open-minded “friendly, organic, witty and natural” loving individual with a globe-trotting nomadic bohemian spirited soul - love to meet new people and learn about their lives and way of living ✨

Life mantra:
Live and let live 🙌🏻
Make the most of your time!
Meet new people.
Explore new places.
Learns about new cultures.
Understand another person’s perspective.
Add value to others’ life.

Health and hygiene are a priority. I am a clean person and would leave your place as I received it, if you host me.

A nomad traveller soul - searching for the unfolding of life’s deeply tangled mystique, charisma and spiritualism. Friendly and open to meeting new people, exploring new things and learning new cultural traditions. Always look forward to acknowledge various backgrounds, cultures, new experiences and interesting facts.

A great listener - you can vent your heart out! Love listening about anything and everything; life in general, individual stories, travelling adventures, lived experiences, struggles and hardships faced by people and how they overcame the obstacles. If you have read my profile in full please write the word: yolo on top of your message. It will confirm that you are interested in the person rather than finding yourself a free place to stay.

I can be super friendly, talkative, understanding and silent - basically I share and reciprocate the vibes of the person I am with. Firm believer of energy and the fact that if we send positive vibes that we will attract them too!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Love to meet new people, make friends, learn about cultures, hear stories and life journeys of people, their struggles and triumphs. I am a people-centered person, being curious, naturally I am inclined in learning more about others and their personalities. I am an observer, human behavior baffles and fascinates me at the same time. This platform provides an incredible opportunity to meet with new people and explore culture, personalities, skills, ideas and perceptions. Also love to explore new places and who better than locals to learn a thing or two. Yeah?

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Took 360° drop water slide in Wild Wadi Dubai.
Went on a solo trip to Europe - twice!

Teach, Learn, Share

With immense knowledge on a broad spectrum of things, i ll keep you entertained. One can not be bored in my company. I always look forward to teach, learn and share a thing or two with others. I am a great cook (if people around me are to be believed), can teach few of my local cultural dishes.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Cooking - As per people around me and those who have hosted me: I cook decent desi (indian, pakistani, bengali and srilankan) food. I can cook us some desi meals :)

Learning - I can teach almost any topic which we share as a mutual area of interest.

Life Lessons - Deep intellectual discourses motivate me to indulge in this platform. I believe there is something to learn from everyone.

Generosity of Spirit - If my student budget allows, I might gift you some candy :)

My invaluable company, travel experiences, conversations, guidance, knowledge, life lessons, travelling tips and anecdotes. Cooking. Research. Communication Skills. Presentation. Teaching. Workshop.
