About Me

By passion I’m a portrait photographer 📸 and a student pilot 🛫 who loves to travel and explore new places. I work as a Product Manager at a leading Asset Management firm in NYC.

I’ve recently gone through a major life transition and I’m ready to explore the world and meet new people. I love to have fun and chat about anything under the sun.

I’m very open-minded and adventurous. I enjoy going out and trying new things that I’ve never done before. They make me happy and curious. I’m always up for a challenge and a good time.

My passion for photography has grown stronger and I aspire to become a professional someday (although I still have a lot to learn). I would love to capture more moments with my guests and hosts. Check albums on this profile for pictures.

If we vibe well, am more than happy to take you along flying in a 4 seater aircraft (weather permitting).

PS:
- This app is not AirBnb. Hosts take up implied risk when hosting unknown people in their home. Hence it’s but natural that it’s the guests responsibility to keep in touch and build a level of comfort before the stay.
- If you can’t take time to communicate and build a bond/vibe, I may have to cancel.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I consider myself a traveler and not a tourist. CS I think will help yo meet people from different walks of life while traveling. Make new friends.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love music (don’t have any talent though - I tried and failed in playing guitar). I love Latin music for the beats. Trying to learn spanish to be able to understand it though.

Movies I prefer drama, action and comedy. I am into romantic movies from time to time. Being from India I also like Bollywood movies.
