About Me

Difficult to describe . I am curious to know, experience and try different perspectives/food/lifestyle in the world. I enjoy small experiences and conversation. I travel to eat local food and have local experience. Interacting with not like minded people and solo traveling has change my perspective and has helped me to unlearn many things. I think I am now an easy going person, chill, non judgmental and a good listener (that’s what most of the travelers I met says)

It’s a discriminatory free house so come with good vibes to experience local culture. I don't care if you are vegan/white/black/blue/atheist/any religion/caste(especially for Indians)/short/tall/fat/thin/LGBTQ/heterosexual/etc etc .....

Just RESPECT each other

Ladies, Gentlemen and Transgender-
1) I am laid-back and open minded. Unfortunately I don’t use this platform for SEXUAL experience. If you are going to invite/meet me with the sole intention of having some kind of sexual activity(applicable to men, women and transgender) then beleive me you are going to waste your precious time.
2) I travel or meet people for making some memories/ experiences to remember/cherish and not to collect some reference or for social media.

For Surfer-
1)I love children so will love to host family with kids that's the reason for keeping max no of guest as 4 otherwise i will only host solo traveler.
2) Read my home section if u r looking a place to stay to understand local law and also something about my parents as they stay with me. I don’t host when my parents are not in town as my travel are unplanned which means you will be meeting my parents often.
3)You are welcome only if you will treat my home as you are own home. Happy travel.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's interesting app. Further I get to know more about local event (through hangout and event section)

Interests

Listening and sharing, slow travelling, living in the moment, journey over destination, off beaten travel path, rural India, LOCAL food and drink, cooking.

Mountains(trekking) and swimming is heaven.

Sometimes I enjoy being lazy(lay on bed and listen to some music)

I am social drinker and not much fond of clubbing in crowded place. I enjoy drinking in less crowded place with good music or in my home balcony or maybe in mountain, sea lake or river(when i travel)-). Currently enjoying the changing trend of Indian gin industry. Let me know if we have common interest.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Traveling to many off beat places in India with help of local including lot of tribal area and meeting amazing local people who are now good friends, solo camping in Himalayas, fishing, hitchhiking, volunteering, experiencing different lifestyle,eating various local food including dog meat, worms etc during travel, searching and meeting aghori baba(people who eat dead human body) meditating in graveyard etc. There are lot of amazing experiences to share. Difficult to write.

Teach, Learn, Share

The story of city of Mumbai fascinates me. Have attended lot of heritage city walk but still I feel the city has lot of hidden stories. I can share the stories that I know about Mumbai.

Other than that I have traveled to many places in India. So can share experience and travel stories.

I can teach Cooking(my own version)

I want to learn pottery, baking(i have oven and equipment at home), skating, fishing in sea .

What I Can Share with Hosts

Some good conversation. Will love to take host for dinner or cook India food subject to availability of time/ingredients.
