Overview
About Me
Hi, I’m a journalist, storyteller, and traveler based in India. I love meeting new people, exploring different cultures, and finding beauty in everyday life. By nature, I’m cheerful, open-minded, and easy-going—I believe in living life with curiosity and kindness.
I enjoy deep conversations just as much as lighthearted laughter. Whether it’s sharing stories over chai, discussing books and philosophy, or exploring hidden local spots, I love creating meaningful connections.
Travel for me isn’t just about places—it’s about people. I believe every person has a story worth listening to, and Couchsurfing is the perfect way to share and learn those stories.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
We Indians believe in the Sanskrit phrase “Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam” – the world is one big family. In the same way, Couchsurfing for me is about connecting with people, seeing the world through their eyes, and creating friendships that go beyond borders.
I love meeting people who believe in sharing, learning, and making the world feel like one big home. 💫

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I once left behind my busy city life to spend months in Rishikesh, living by the Ganga, meditating, and creating soulful stories. That time taught me the power of silence, connection, and living in the present—it was life-changing. Since then, I'm working remotely and travelling consistently.
