I was raised in the UAE but I love India, my country. I love my freedom. Especially so, cuz I'm still discovering myself. I keep an open-mind about a lot of things, especially to new experiences! I am crazy about other cultures and people! I am a sucker for intricate designs and like to take pics of mother nature.

As an AIESECer, I'd taken the leap to travel to China for some social work. Had a taste of couchsurfing there. I've been on some bike trips in South India. I've also done quite a bit of traveling with my partner while we where working in Delhi.

We are now traveling across India with our five year old daughter in our Motorhome - a Tata Safari with a Roof Top Tent. We're constantly on the lookout for parking spots!

I live life for the experiences it guarantees. And by far, the one of the most interesting experience has been meeting different kind of people and understanding them.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'd love to guide visitors around India and would obviously share my experiences with hosts when I travel.

I had a great Couchsurfing experience in Suzhou! The place was awesome and I was helped a lot by my host. I was directed in the right directions and thus enjoyed my short stay there =)

Another CS experience was in Beijing where I lived with 2-3 other CSers and saw the true diversity of CS!

I truly believe in the concept and philosophy of Couchsurfing and am here to learn from fellow CSers and embark on the journeys CS will take me and my family.

Music, Movies, and Books

I just love Movies!! I have no real favourites. Whenever someone asks me for a favourite I usually cite the latest movie I saw!
I used to be a book freak till sometime back. So, I would have read all the children's books famous in India and UAE. Still pushing my luck to get back into being bookish!
Music is always a passion. I feel something is missing in the area when no music is playing!! But I am more into the tune of the song rather than its lyrics!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Black Belt in Shotokan Karate. Love the control it gives to your body.

Climbed the Great Wall of China! And did it where there was no one around, scary at first especially with all the slopes!

Got a beautiful daughter. Everyday is a new learning day for me, with her. She pushes me to be better.

Teach, Learn, Share

One of the things I want to learn is the different living styles across the world. I want to learn why people are the way they are! The conditions and philosophies that lead to the making of a person!

I've gained a few passions like riding, driving, photography and travelling on the way and would love to share experiences and enjoy it with any like-minded people!
