About Me

Entrepreneur, computer science engineer, former international student, and mazdoor trying out the CS lifestyle.

Currently helping our family business grow while exploring opportunities to use my skills for tech ventures in AI or quantum computing.

Moved back to Delhi last September after being away for a while!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have been wanting to surf couches ever since I got to know about Couchsurfing many years ago. At that time, I was 15, and somewhat incapable of traveling by myself.

When i got my first chance to use CS, I was a student living 7000 miles away from home, and more than capable of using this amazing service to meet awesome new people while exploring what the world has to offer!

Now, i am just a broke entrepreneur who tries to make the most of it, and meeting new people is an essential aspect of travel for me.

Music, Movies, and Books

I have varied interests here. I like shows and movies from every language and genre. My current favorites are:
1. TV shows: Breaking Bad, Brooklyn 99, Rick and Morty, Sherlock, and many more...
2. Movies: Dunkirk, Tenet, fight club, and some marvel stuff among others
3. Anime: Kimi no Na wa, OPM, FMA....
4. Korean: Crash Landing on You, Mr. Sunshine
5. Bollywood: 3 idiots, ZNMD.....
Sadly, I do not have a taste in music. I will listen to anything and everything. However, I do prefer some classic rock from the likes of Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin at times.
Maybe you can introduce me to something new when we meet!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Deciding to go for my first solo trip to the Himalayas 3 hours before boarding is the first thing that comes to my mind.

Teach, Learn, Share

As a wise person once said (probably), just go with the flow.
I can share with you my experience of moving between countries, and hopefully, get some tips from you on how to use CS better.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can cook indian food for you (if we can find the ingredients). I promise it will only be a little spicy.

I love to make conversation on anything and everything from geopolitics to science if you really want me to bring out the nerd. If you dont take interest in boring topics like those, i will gladly accompany you for anything you have on your mind!

If you are interested, we can share some life lessons we have picked up during our short few years of life on this planet, or we can skip all that and just be silly together hahaha.

Countries I’ve Visited

Cambodia, China, Colombia, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Macao, Malaysia, Mexico, Singapore, Thailand, United Arab Emirates, Viet Nam

Countries I’ve Lived In
