I've traveled solo to more than 45 countries and once backpacked for more than 2 years at a stretch while working in a fully remote full-time job. I might have stayed in over 100 hostels in total and was also accepted as a party promoter/tour guide at a hostel in South East Asia.

I've in Dec-2023 moved into a new work from office job in Mumbai and am trying to focus on professional/personal endeavours for 2024. In my new role, I currently head the corporate credit research business for a financial services firm in Mumbai.

At a personal level, my current priorities are going to the gym, learning salsa/bachata sensual, playing tennis and swimming.

Hosting is subject to my availability, length of stay and arrival/departure timing. Kindly confirm your stay within a reasonable amount of time after approval/invitation so as to not block the calendar. Also, please do not confirm your stay if you plan to continue fishing elsewhere or if you are not sure about staying with me :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet backpackers who are still traveling. When I was backpacking myself, I didn't see a reason to use the app as I could meet people just everywhere.
