Overview
About Me
I'm an Indian travelling the world exploring alternate lifestyles! I am from a southern city in India called Auroville which is an experimental international township with people from more than 100 countries. I like travel and have been to 10+ countries! I've been an investment banker in the past and now am on a break in my career to reflect and explore life with a much more broader lens. I'll be travelling in Argentina, Spain and Italy in the next few months
Meeting people from different backgrounds and experiences excites me and I enjoy meaningful conversations.
My hobbies include playing the Indian classical bamboo flute, learning an Indian martial art form called Kalaripayyatu.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
To meet interesting people in their local setting and to have authentic conversations. I find locals are the best way to learn about a place and couchsurfing is a great way to do that.
