I’m a marketer, traveler, and curious observer of how people and places shape each other. I run a brand and marketing consultancy in India, so I spend a lot of my time thinking about ideas, culture, cities, and how stories are built. When I travel, I prefer slow experiences including good conversations, local food, long walks, and understanding what makes a place unique.

I’m easygoing, respectful of people’s spaces, and always up for thoughtful discussions about life, culture, business, or travel. If you enjoy meaningful conversations, exploring local neighborhoods, or simply sharing a relaxed evening, I’d love to connect and exchange stories.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m on Couchsurfing to experience places through the people who live there, not just as a tourist. I enjoy meeting thoughtful, curious individuals, sharing stories, and learning about local culture and everyday life. For me, travel becomes meaningful through conversations, perspectives, and the connections you build along the way.

Also, being a queer person, I like to create safe spaces for other queer people who can be themselves when they are staying in a new city.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music for me is an ever changing and evolving feeling. It depends on my mood, zeitgeist, and on what is happening in my life. I have a playlist that ranges from 80s rock to indie to Indian classical and sufi to techno.

Teach, Learn, Share

Can share insights on branding, marketing strategy, and how businesses build strong identities and grow. I’m always happy to exchange ideas about entrepreneurship, storytelling, and creative thinking. At the same time, I enjoy learning practical skills, local knowledge, and new perspectives from people in different places and professions.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A respectful and easy guest who values people’s homes and time. I can cook a simple Indian meal, share stories from my travels and work, and bring thoughtful conversation. I’m also happy to help with small things like ideas for projects, photography, or simply bringing good energy to the home.
