I live in Bangalore, the southern part of India. I head innovation for an organization. Never been a person who took a personal vacation until 2019. I've always travelled for work and end up taking a small detour to explore the local region. My goal is to travel as much as I can. Travel brings immense happiness and excitement. The tranquility and serenity prevail so much in nature.

Exploring the traditional side of the city always excites me. This includes architecture, historical monuments, museum and local cuisine. I am a foodie. Would always be up to exploring different cuisines.

My weekends are devoted to travel and siesta along with writing my thoughts in form of free verse poems, books, sitcoms, theatre play and dine out with friends. I have always been able to connect with people and build very relationship. This is the beauty of Couchsurf, one gets to meet people with varied interests and experiences. This is fascinating to hear and learn about people!

Few things about me:
1. Love my house to be clean
2. Weekends and vacations can be impromptu
3. Love my job and never stresses me out
4. A die-hard fan of Carnatic music
5. Varied interests in terms of books
