About Me

Hey Guys! I'm a travel blogger from India, living in Berlin and traveling and sharing my stories.
Instagram: @_desiwanderer

I'm looking to meet people, eat local food and visit interesting places, but most importantly, make memories and friends for life.

I'm a product manager by profession (boring). But I'm a traveller, foodie, movie enthusiast and a dancer. I love having looong conversations over really good coffee ☕ (yes I'm a coffee addict).

I live in Amsterdam with my wife. We are a happy and welcoming family. We don't have a big house but I can guarantee a lot of Indian food and hospitality.

Also, If you would be so kind to host this poor bloke, I would be forever thankful. I also promise to get you souvenirs from India ;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Exchange of cultures is the essence of travel. There's so much one can know by sharing experiences and making new friends on the go. For me, couchsurfing is the ideal platform for sharing travel experiences, cultures and making new friends. My family loves to host surfers. As I'm an avid traveller, I would also love to surf and meet new people to share my experiences.

I also believe that knowing the place from the perspective of a local is very important for a traveler to absorb the feel of the place. Most travelers only experience the touristy things. I love doing offbeat things that only locals can guide you about. And so far my hosts and friends have always guided me well.

Interests

I'm very passionate about what I do :)
I'm a banker by profession so I can bore you with finance lingo. But I'm also a very passionate traveler and have traveled to 26 countries. I love to dance, watch a lot of tv series and movies, read sometimes and I play the guitar.🎸

I love meeting new people and making new friends. Getting to know about different cultures, customs and traditions is something I look forward to. I've made amazing friends from all over the world and have had the good fortune of knowing about so many cultures. I absolutely want to continue to do so for the rest of my life.
