Overview
About Me
Hey there! I’m a software professional currently living in India. When I'm not working, you’ll usually find me exploring new places, hiking through nature, or deep into yoga and meditation. Traveling has always been a big part of my life, and each trip has brought me valuable experiences that help me grow as a person.
I’m passionate about maintaining a healthy and balanced lifestyle—whether it’s through mindful living or indulging in my love for food and music. I consider myself an open-minded, easygoing, and minimalist adventurer who enjoys embracing life’s simple pleasures. Stoicism and pacifism guide my approach to life, and I truly believe that the best experiences come from connecting with people and sharing stories.
Couchsurfing has been an amazing and #1 way for me to enrich my travels. I’ve met incredible people along the way—each stay or meet-up adding another layer to my understanding of different cultures and ways of life. It’s the shared stories, laughs, and the genuine hospitality that keeps me coming back to this community. I hope to learn something new every day and have my perspective turned upside down with each new venture that I take on. Whether I’m hosting or surfing, I love connecting with like-minded souls who enjoy swapping travel tales, exploring new cities, or just chilling over a meal/drink.
*Travel Update*
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Travel enables me to widen my perspective and the people I meet when I am travelling are reflections of stories from that place. I'm a seeker of inspiration for my work from these stories and thats what brings me here. I believe in sharing and giving back to society and I think, CS is the right platform.

Music, Movies, and Books
I absolutely love music and music goes with the mood no ?
I listen to almost all the music genres right from classic rock, metal, country, folk to Indian classical. Though at the moment my favorites are Techno, Deep House, Ambient and Reggae which helps in setting the mood these days.
Same goes with movies. I'm a total movie buff and some of my favorites are Forrest Gump, Top Gun, Pulp fiction, Goodfellas, Man from earth, Fight Club, The Departed, Perception, The Dark Knight, 50 first dates, Devil wears Prada, Into the wild ... etc. the list is endless.

Teach, Learn, Share
I'm always keen to learn new things, like to try out different food, know about foreign culture, different languages etc.
I would love to share my travel stories n experiences and believe me I have many to tell. :D
What I Can Share with Hosts
Information about the places to visit in city, food to eat. I'm putting more efforts into cooking to learn more of it so can cook some dishes which I've learnt so far. Also assure great time over storytelling and a glass of wine(not mandatory :x).
