Hello CouchSurfers👋
I’m Belgian of Indian origin with a bit of a twist — born in India 🇮🇳 but I spent 10 amazing years in Belgium 🇧🇪, and along the way, I’ve explored 35 countries (and counting!) 🌍
I speak Française, English, Hindi- Fluently while bit of Dutch and Spanish — so there’s a good chance we can connect in more than one language! 🗣️ 🇫🇷 🇬🇧🇳🇱 🇪🇸
I love being that perfect mix of East and West: rooted in the richness of diverse Indian colour, culture and spirituality, but shaped by the Freedom, personal fulfilment and individuality of Western life. It’s like having the best of both worlds — one foot in yoga and chai, the other in hiking boots and espresso. 🧘‍♂️🍀☕🥾
I’m passionate about travel, food, languages, stories, deep conversations, meditation, camping under the stars, walks in nature, and meeting interesting people from all over the world. ✨
Whether we’re swapping travel tales, hiking up a hill, or just sharing a good laugh over food — I’m always up for a great connection.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe in human connection beyond borders. I love hearing real stories, learning how people live, cook, party with them . Whether it’s sharing an Indian dish or learning how to make your favorite local dish, these moments stay with me far more than tourist sights.
I’m also deeply into yoga, Ayurveda, meditation, languages, and storytelling, and I enjoy exchanging ideas about culture, philosophy, food, and how we all see the world a little differently — and yet, somehow the same.
Couchsurfing feels like the perfect space where kindness, curiosity, and openness come together. I hope to give and receive, learn and share — and maybe even inspire someone the way so many Couchsurfers have inspired me.
