About Me

The world is better than it's portrayed in the media. I realized it only after traveling to more than 30 countries. I learnt things through travelling that I could not learn from my 3 university degrees.

I boarded the first flight of my life from Delhi to Paris in May 2017, at the age of 21. My passion for Medical Device Development brought me to Europe. As much as I love engineering, I also love travelling. I realized my passion for travelling and exploration during my internship in France and later during my Master's in Germany.

I eventually started my travel website and recently my YouTube channel 'WalknTalk' Vlogs.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe that getting to know about the local cuisines and local history from the native people is an altogether new experience. The last time I couch-surfed in Lübeck, my host told me about the amazing history of the city and gave me a city tour. He even drove me to the Baltic Sea.

I live in Limerick, Ireland, and work in a MedTech company. However, I am from a small coastal town in the eastern part of India. I might host guests, depending on availability.
