About Me

I’m a solo traveler with a quiet fire to understand how India truly breathes through its people, cultures, food, farms, stories, and forgotten trails.

Right now, I’m traveling across India as a slow traveler, moving at my own pace and learning how life unfolds in real places through local agriculture, communities, entrepreneurship, and unfiltered conversations. I believe the road teaches better than any classroom one chai and chat at a time.

I just finished college, stepped off the corporate path before it even began, and chose this road instead slow days, wild places, deep talks, and a life lived fully.

Though introverted by nature, this journey is my way of opening up learning to connect, unlearn, and simply be.

How I Travel
I often pitch my tent or sleep under the stars. I don’t use Couchsurfing for a “free stay.” For me, it’s about time together sharing stories, learning about your world, and building real human connections.

Why I’m Here
I’m new to Couchsurfing and may not have many references yet, but I come with an open mind, respect for your space, and a genuine wish to connect.

If you love raw travel, soulful exchanges, and believe in the power of stories let’s cross paths somewhere on the map.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet locals, share real conversations, and see the world from your eyes. I believe Couchsurfing is about human connection not just free stays, but deeper understanding. Plus, I love helping or learning wherever I go.

Interests

I'm not just a tourist; I dive deep. From chatting with locals at tea stalls to exploring unknown village routes, I’m always looking for authentic experiences. Food, language, rituals, and day-to-day life fascinate me more than any monument.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Indian classical, travel vibe music, sometimes silence.
Books: Biographies, travel stories, and books that reflect real life.
Movies: Documentary-style, road movies, and anything that inspires exploration.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Respect, good conversation, and help in house chores. I bring a backpack full of curiosity and gratitude. I don’t need luxury just a floor to crash on.
