About Me

Old Overview:
15 Countries and 38 Cities Old! (Check out the video from my recent Euro Trip - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W-myDxZzT94) Loving what I Do and Living what I Love! Started my own Travel Startup - OneStepTraveller after getting bored of the routine repeatable Job. Believe that most life lessons are learnt on the Road and hence traveled more than 30 places in the last 3 years in India, Thailand, Nepal and the US. Recently travelers around euro for 90 days just with a return ticket and nothing else. I did both organized and very random trips and made some amazing friends along the way. Sometimes I used to wake up in the morning, check for the next best destination with the Cheapest tickets and would be in a new Country by evening, which I never either planned or sometimes haven't heard of before in my Life! Love that Life! <3

Update 10th August:

I met the women I Love during travel! And this was also during my EuroTrip. We had a very crazy adventurous with Covid and Personally with my family and finally we are married in a traditional Indian way and also in Paris. We also have a small baby girl! Looking forward to explore more adventures together as a family!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I had done a 3 months Euro Trip in 2017 and those were one of the best days of my Life. I was lucky enough to meet meet some amazing people during my travels and some are very good friends now. I was awed by all the couchsurfers that I met on how nice and welcoming they were and I would want to do the same for someone visiting my Home Town. Always open for Genuine Travelers looking for some Authentic experiences and maybe sometimes I am open to help you get a short stay home while in Hyderabad :)

Looking forward to meet new people, make new friends in different parts of the world and make friendships for lifetime and also share mutual cultural experiences in the Journey of Life.

Music, Movies, and Books

My all time favorite band is Led Zep. I know its an old band but it never bores me. I also very much enjoy listening to Rap, Rap Rock, Hip Hop and Psychedelic Rock. Also in India music I like Punjabi Rap.

Read lots of books while traveling and while at home. Love reading a mixed Genre of Books especially related to Travel, Adventures, Biographies and Startups. Recent reads this year are Into the Wild, The will to Climb, The Alchemist, Elon Musk, Steve Jobs, Inferno etc

In Movies I do like Thrillers, Travel Based, Adventure, Sci-Fi, Ancient themed movies etc. However not a regular watcher but see only when I am free from my Travels and Startup Stuff.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Recently traveled around europe for 90 days (Check out the video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W-myDxZzT94), with just a return ticket and nothing else and made some amazing friends around the world. Sometimes I used to wake up in the morning, check for the next best destination with the Cheapest tickets and would be in a new Country by evening, which I never either planned or sometimes haven't heard of before in my Life! Love that Life! <3

Started My Own Travel Startup and the day I started got a booking from a customer for 35 people and I felt proud of myself that day!

Was the 1st one in my Family to start Traveling Solo. I am a very random Solo Travel Planner. Once I decided my Trip to Nepal within 10 mins of missing my train to Home and that was one of the best Trips of my life!
