ABOUT ME

Bitten by a travel bug early in life my semi nomadic ways have modeled my life choices. Backpacking, photography, nature, wildlife and exploring new cultures are my passions. I love reading, classic rock and metal music, cooking, arts and have strong inclination towards philosophy and spirituality. My profession complements my passions and interests; it takes me to different places and allows me to get close with the people from different cultures. I believe in doing what I love and learning what I don't know.

PHILOSOPHY

A wanderer and explorer who is going through life for the experiences and not the pay cheques.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet people from different cultural backgrounds and to know more about their culture, experiences, beliefs, folklore and of course their cuisine.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have surfed, hosted and met people through Couchsurfing. I can proudly say that most of the people I have met through Couchsurfing have become good friends in real life and we stay in touch.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Watching the Milky way in sky from the world's highest inhabited village - Kibber, Himachal Pradesh.

Witnessing Tiger hunting its prey.

Traveled solo through uncharted tribal terrains of North East India for months, went to the last mile, at times walked alone through the dense rain forests of Himalayas for miles, met many people from different tribes. I could witness tribal life, their customs and some of the tribal festivals up close.

Teach, Learn, Share

Every meeting with a stranger presents an opportunity to mutually learn something new.
