Embarking on my inaugural journey with Couchsurfing, both as a host and a traveler. For the same reason, you will see I don't have enough references or friends in the community. Originally from the vibrant city of Mumbai, India, I've called Helsinki, Finland, my home for the past nine years. Despite my occasional grievances about the challenging winters, I have developed a deep affection for Finland, making it my second home.

Professionally, I am a software developer. During my leisure hours, you'll find me engaging in various activities such as public speaking, reading books, practicing meditation, enjoying a game of badminton, and maintaining a fitness routine. An additional feather in my cap is my Indian culinary skills, a talent praised by everyone fortunate enough to be invited to my table.

While solo traveling wasn't initially my go-to choice, a couple of recent solo adventures completely won me over. The experience ignited a newfound love for solo exploration, prompting my decision to join the Couchsurfing community. My goal is to traverse the globe, immerse myself in diverse cultures, and establish connections with locals along the way.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing because I love solo traveling, and this platform allows me to explore new places while connecting with amazing people. It's not just about finding a free place to stay; it's about sharing experiences, making friends, and creating unique memories together.

Hoping Couchsurfing adds a special touch to my travels, turning each trip into a memorable adventure filled with genuine connections. I can not host if you have plan to come home in the midnight or have early flight and need to depart in the midnight.
