Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think couchsurfing is the best tool to come across local people and see the hidden gems of the place which is otherwise impossible to stumble upon.

Interests

I am passionate about hitchhiking and has taken me to many places, stories and people in India and abroad.
I love meeting new people from different backgrounds, know about their life, share their experience and my thoughts, travel stories and journey of life, I have learnt to become a good listener lately :), .. Also I am a big foodie and consider myself a good cook, I love to experiment with the food and improvise based on available ingredients, which is the soul of Indian cooking.
I have interest in Dark places and I have absolutely no/any attraction toward touristic places..
