Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
See the world, meet amazing people from every corner of life, swap stories, learn something new every day—and make the most of every moment. Carpe diem!
ABOUT ME
A traveler by choice and a banker by profession, I love exploring new cultures, meeting people, and collecting stories along the way. I enjoy reading about a place’s history, visualizing its past and present, and discovering the little details that make each destination unique. Good conversations, local food, and shared experiences make every journey memorable.
PHILOSOPHY
Travel is about people, not places. I value genuine conversations, cultural exchange, and kindness. I believe in openness, mutual respect, and leaving every encounter a little better than I found it.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
To meet people, exchange cultures, and experience places beyond the tourist lens. I enjoy meaningful conversations, shared meals, and the simple joy of human connection while traveling.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Every Couchsurfing stay has been a little adventure of its own. From sharing home-cooked meals and local stories to joining spontaneous walks around a city, I’ve found that the best way to know a place is through the people who live there. Each connection has taught me something new—about cultures, perspectives, or even just about kindness. For me, Couchsurfing is about more than a place to stay; it’s about turning strangers into friends and leaving with memories that stay long after the trip ends.
Interests
Traveling and exploring new cultures, music of all kinds, reading about history, hiking, snorkeling, trying local cuisines, watching sunsets , and meaningful conversations. I also enjoy cooking, learning new skills, and sharing experiences with fellow travelers.

Music, Movies, and Books
I enjoy many genres of music — from Indian classical to jazz, from Vietnamese duets to Irish crooners, from soulful ghazals to easy-listening classics. Always open to discovering new sounds and local favourites. 🎶

Teach, Learn, Share
I enjoy sharing travel stories, cultural perspectives, and good conversations. Happy to learn about local traditions, everyday life, and what makes a place truly feel like home.
What I Can Share with Hosts
I love hosting and making my guests feel at home. You’ll have a cozy bed or mattress with fresh sheets, towels, and slippers ready for you. The kitchen is yours to use—feel free to cook your favorite meals or try out ingredients from the fridge. My goal is for you to feel comfortable, relaxed, and at home during your stay.
