Hey lovely people ! I’m Uday ( it means Sunrise - definitely not a morning person)

I work as a Senior Marketing Manager for a company that builds technologies for F1 cars (Red Bull Racing), airplanes, and even missions to Mars 🚀.

Outside of work, I’m fascinated by the cosmos and love stargazing, and psychology - intrigued about this cosmos and how human brain/minds work!

I’d describe myself as open-minded, curious, and positive. I complain less, smile more, and enjoy connecting with people who live life fully. I’m eclectic by nature- always mixing cultures, tastes, and ideas.

I love cooking fusion recipes (and mixing cocktails), hitting the dance floor for some Cuban salsa or free-style moves, and losing myself in house, techno, LoFi, or EDM beats.

Sports and adventure are a big part of my life: climbing, via ferrata, badminton, padel, squash, pickleball, volleyball you name it, I’ll try it.

Adrenaline keeps me grounded.

I thrive on deep conversations, spontaneous adventures, and people who bring their true colors.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people.
To explore more places.
