Overview
About Me
Hey! I’m a friendly soul from Thrissur, currently working in Kochi as a consultant in IT. Born and raised in Kerala, I love meaningful conversations, spontaneous adventures, and discovering local cultures in authentic ways. Couchsurfing feels like the perfect way to connect with people beyond tourist checklists.
I recently challenged myself with a 20-day swimming session (finally checked that off my bucket list!)—I love trying new things that push me a little out of my comfort zone. Whether it’s learning a skill, trying a new dish, or hearing someone’s life story, I’m always up for something real.
Why I’m on Couch-surfing
Because hotels don’t tell stories—people do. I love meeting folks from different walks of life and experiencing places through a local’s eyes. I enjoy both hosting and surfing, and believe the best travel memories come from human connections, not guidebooks.
Interests
• Good food & great conversations
• Exploring cities on foot
• Art in all its forms—I love connecting with artists and can spend hours admiring artwork, whether it’s in a gallery or on the street
• Music, movies, and the occasional deep-dive podcast
• Swimming, cycling, and outdoor vibes
What I Can Share with Hosts/Guests
Stories from my corner of the world, a curious and respectful attitude, and a good sense of humor. I can also help with local travel tips around Kerala, or just be a chill companion for a cup of chai or beer.
Let’s exchange stories and good vibes!
