Overview
About Me
I’m originally from beautiful city of lakes Udaipur in INDIA. I’m a crazy dreamer and with an insatiable desire for travel and adventure who could never settle for an ordinary life or conform with the norm.
After graduating from uni and ‘selling my soul’ as a corporate slave I started to feel like I was wasting the best years of my life behind a desk working for someone else’s passions and dreams. There had to be more to life than this!
I believe that travel is so much more than simply seeing the sights – that travel, and the things you learn from it, can really change your life.
I travel to grow as a person, to meet others who inspire and educate me and to (hopefully!) do the same in return, to have my life enriched by the beauty and diversity of this amazing world and to have my eyes, mind and heart opened wide
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Through Couchsurfing, you will learn new things from the hosts and to whom you host. Couchsurfing allows you to dive in headfirst and you will experience a new culture from the inside. You have to break out of your comfort zone when you show up at stranger's home and share thoughts and culture. Couchsurfing makes us understand the true meaning of generosity. It helps in to make new friends and you will do and try things you never thought you would. It will open windows for you to see the things that are not in guidebooks and hear the stories that do not exist even in the famous websites. People expect good company and an open mind and even though you show up at stranger's home, it is incredibly safe. One more benefit is that you select who you want to stay with based on shared interests, or criteria like age and gender and this is an open community. For a solo traveler, its great

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Rode on a Royal Enfield motorcycle on the world's highest motorable road situated at an altitude of 5359 meters above the sea level in Ladakh which is the land of great Buddhist monasteries. Leh Ladakh is the Northern most part of India located in Jammu and Kashmir. The scenic grandeur of entire Greater Himalayas is unmatched, but the mystical aura of the cold desert lends an ethereal charm to the rugged mountain ranges of Leh Ladakh
Teach, Learn, Share
I would love to teach Hindi, the language of India and delicious cooking from North, Central and West India. Would appreciate if I learn the same from the host and sharing experiences from life
