Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As a passionate traveler, I believe there's nothing quite as powerful as genuine connections and cultural exchange. I love to meet open-minded travelers and locals who share a passion for exploration and learning. We connect over shared experiences, swap stories, and create memories that last a lifetime. Couchsurfing enables me to explore new places and immerse myself in diverse cultures in a way that's truly authentic and heartwarming. If you're looking to enrich your travels and create meaningful connections, I would love to connect. Happy Couchsurfing!

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: It's hard to pick just one, as I love various genres, including Indian classical and Bollywood, English Pop and Indie, and Latin music.

Movies: My taste in movies is diverse.
I enjoy heartwarming rom-coms like "The Terminal," "500 Days of Summer," and "La La Land."
I also love mind-bending sci-fi films like "Inception," "Arrival," and "Ex Machina,"
As well as gripping thrillers like "The Prestige," "Old boy," and "Fight Club." Additionally, I appreciate emotionally rich dramas such as "A Beautiful Mind," "Udaan," "Jai Bhim," and "Forrest Gump."

Books: Recently, I've been engrossed in self-help books, with "The Mountain is You" being one that I've found particularly insightful and inspiring.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I conquered the mighty Kedarkantha Summit in the Himalayas! This incredible mountain peak stands tall at an elevation of 12,500 ft. To get there, I embarked on an epic four-day trek that started from the charming little village of Sankri. This adventure was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience that left me breathless and in awe of the stunning natural beauty that surrounded me.
