CURRENT MISSION

To travel the world alone, and live more simply

ABOUT ME

An avid traveler and nature lover. Have traveled half of the world but still cant get enough. I love the mountains. It is my dream to climb Mt. Everest someday.
I am a Chemical Engineer by education but my career has nothing to do with that.
A victim of circumstance #WHYALWAYSME
Football fan (no its not 'soccer')

PHILOSOPHY

Explore, have an open mind about EVERYTHING, accept new ideas, the unknown is where its at.
Do things that test your mental and physical limits.
Be happy :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Maybe when I get away from the daily chores of life (job, family etc etc.) and travel the world, probably look out for a couch around here.
And...am willing to host people and show them my city.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I climbed the Stok Khangri summit (located deep in the Himalayas) which is some 20,000 feet (6200 m). It took us 6 days and it was the most challenging and amazing thing I've ever done! Also met the greatest people.

My 10 days backpacking around Turkey. What a country!

My time in Barcelona, so much fun, met the best people. Barcelona reminds me of my own city, Delhi!
