About Me

I’m a Product Manager working remotely for a US startup from India. Despite being an introvert, I enjoy meeting nice people from all over the world and connect with them. I love books and movies.

I write a weekly newsletter (The Sunday Wisdom) and it has helped me make connections with many people all over the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Although I’ve had an account for several years, I haven’t used Couchsurfing actively, until recently when my wife and I have started taking travel seriously, especially after the pandemic.

Through Couchsurfing, I want to meet some cool people and have some memorable experiences.

Interests

One of my latest project is visiting new places, and connecting with locals. If I have a camera I love to shoot our interactions. I love reading, writing, hiking, beaches, coffee, craft beer, music, stories, architecture, walking around in neighbourhoods.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love Classic Rock, Old Bollywood and Gazals. I’m also a huge Linkin Park fan.

I watch too many movies. I love world cinema. I’m always on the lookout for less popular, but really good movies.

I try to read about 24 books every year

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I took an unplanned trip to Bhutan (with my friends) because I found some cheap tickets online. It was fun and full of adventure.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach Indian cooking (although I’m not the best cook, but I love trying out new recipes). I can share how it’s like to grow up and live in India. I can teach you basic Hindi in a few days to get by in most of India.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Walking around the city together, hanging out, lots of laughs, etc.

Countries I’ve Lived In
