About Me

Hey there! 👋
I spent most of my 20s living the dream — traveling and exploring the world one adventure at a time.
These days, I’m in my 30s and working full-time with a pharmaceutical company. Life’s a little busier now, but I still carve out time to travel whenever I can.

I live with my family, and I'm happy to host fellow travelers who genuinely embrace the spirit of Couchsurfing.

📩 Please message me here first. If I don't respond, feel free to WhatsApp or text only at +91 8969811313 (no direct calls, please).

I’m open to hosting you if:
✅ You've hosted or met genuine travelers and have references.
✅ You understand and respect the true Couchsurfing spirit — this isn’t a free hotel or exam accommodation service.
✅ Your profile has a clear display photo or album for identification.

Let’s keep the experience authentic and meaningful. Looking forward to connecting with like-minded travelers! 🌍

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

"Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam" — The world is one family.
A timeless thought from the Maha Upanishad that deeply resonates with me. I believe in kindness, compassion, and meaningful connections beyond borders.

Couchsurfing, to me, is all about:
🌏 Genuine cultural exchange
🤝 Meeting new people, sharing stories
💬 Helping travelers — and receiving help when I travel

Let’s make the world a little warmer, together.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Just one? 😅

Hiked to Everest Base Camp in peak winter.

A motorcycle road trip to Muktinath in Nepal with no existing road in peak winter.

Lived in Hanoi, Vietnam for 2 years — mostly on noodles, chaos, and adventure.

Rode motorbikes across the Himalayas like I was in a forever action movie.

Drove a car high into the mountains with absolutely no experience of driving… survived, and so did the car (barely).

Life’s been wild — and I’m not done yet!

Teach, Learn, Share

Experiences and travel stories. Some photography tips to help you become a better photographer (if you are not :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

A dose of inspiration, a pinch of motivation, and a bunch of crazy travel stories from across the Himalayas and beyond!
I'm a creative soul — happy to share ideas, help out, or just have a good conversation.
I can cook a bit (no promises of Michelin stars 😄), and I’m always ready to volunteer for any interesting project you’ve got going on.
