Hey there! 👋
I’m SK — a curious traveler who’s had the chance to visit around 15 countries for work and adventure. I love exploring new places, learning about different cultures, and finding those little local gems that make each destination unique.

Traveling has taught me that the best stories come from the people you meet along the way. I enjoy good conversations, local cuisine (only vegetarian), spontaneous plans, and learning about how people live and think around the world. Whether it’s wandering through city streets, hiking to scenic spots, or simply relaxing over coffee or masala Tea. I’m always up for something new! ☕🍻

In India, I enjoy taking long drives, especially on weekends or during extended holidays. I’ve covered over 150,000 km exploring various states, small towns, and scenic routes. Road trips are my favorite way to unwind, discover hidden gems, and connect with the diverse beauty of the country. 🚗💨

When I’m not traveling, I’m usually planning my next trip, working on projects, or reading about places I’d love to see next. I believe travel is not just about the destinations, but the friendships and experiences that stay with you long after the journey ends.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe the best way to experience a place is through its people. Couchsurfing is an awesome way to connect with locals, share experiences, and build friendships across borders. I love hearing travel stories, learning from different perspectives, and creating memories that go beyond the usual tourist spots.

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy Indian music; it really depends on the mood and the moment. From calm acoustic and indie tunes on long drives to upbeat travel playlists that keep the road alive, music is always a big part of my journeys.

When it comes to movies, I’m into everything from travel documentaries and feel-good comedies to thrillers, Spy, and classic dramas. I enjoy a good story that makes you think, laugh, or just relax after a long day. And yes I totally enjoy a good Netflix and chill evening with snacks, music, and easy vibes. 🍿🎶

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I also completed the 100 km Oxfam Trailwalker, which was one of the most challenging yet most rewarding experiences — walking day and night as a team, pushing limits, and realizing how far determination (and good company!) can take you.

One of my most memorable road trips was driving over 4,000 km in just two weeks, exploring caves, museums, and a tiger safari, and witnessing how landscapes and cultures changed with every few hundred kilometers. 🚗🌄

Teach, Learn, Share

I’ve spent over 18 years working in the media, entertainment, and startup industries, so I enjoy sharing stories and experiences from both the professional and personal aspects of life. I can chat about creative projects, startup ideas, or how the media space has evolved — and I love hearing others’ journeys too! 🎬💡

On the adventure side, I’ve traveled to over 15 countries, taken numerous road trips across India, and even spent two years running marathons almost every other week, including a 100 km trail walk. I’m always up for sharing travel tips, road trip routes, or a few tech hacks that make life easier on the go. 🚗🌍
