I consider myself a simple person who always listens to the heart ❤️. I love traveling whenever I get time. I'm a foodie too and enjoy cooking a lot🍛. I believe real travel begins when you meet local people, eat their food, and see life the way they live it. That’s why I love Couchsurfing, it’s not just about staying somewhere, it’s about connecting like family.

I enjoy playing badminton 🏸 and can teach you if you’re a beginner. I also love swimming, trekking, and hiking ⛰️. I'm not loud in a crowd, but if we sit together and talk, I open up easily and enjoy listening to your stories 📖

Many guests I've hosted have become close friends. Some have shared meals with my family, joined me for temple visits or festivals, and I even hosted on my wedding day! My mother always welcomes guests with home cooked food and a warm heart. We believe in “Atithi Devo Bhava” means Guest is God 🙏

If you're ever coming to Thrissur, need a place to stay, want to experience local culture, or just have a good chat over lemon tea ☕ just send me a message. I’ll do my best to help, even if my schedule is tight.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I know people who are interested to travel a lot but worried of getting a place to stay, explore in deep etc. I do understand the passion of travelling.
If am able share a shelter, food and thoughts to someone come to my place I will do my best.
I will try to offer surfers / guests the best advice about my city so they can leave with a feeling that "this city felt like home".
