ABOUT ME

Born in Agra, the city of the Taj Mahal, I spent my childhood in boarding school in the Himalayan Valley of Shimla. Life's strange, and university brought me to the cosmopolitan Singapore. Being in the midst of nature is a part of me, so I studied abroad for 6 months in ETH Zurich, and travelled and backpacked across Europe as much time and money would allow me. Now that I am back in Singapore working, nature beckons me time and again and I find myself on a plane to a new place.

I am a Android engineer based off in Singapore. I am an outdoorsy guy, hit the gym a couple of times a week. I like playing sports especially tennis and squash. I am up for a night out with drinks (and maybe unembarrassed dancing) and also a night in with beer and stories.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is too short to have any regrets.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Unfortunately I haven't had the chance to host people in Singapore as I live in a rented apartment and the owners can be picky. Nevertheless, I still hope to meet new people visiting Singapore or while I am travelling to share my experiences and learn from their invaluable ones.

Had my first surfing experience in Austria and was totally overwhelmed by it! Looking forward to relive those experiences again
