About Me

3 words that define me: Rebel, Street-smart, and Biking!
Own my own startup in the travel education sector, in full-scale mode right now.
I was always a smart and curious kid who didn't do well in school because i told myself there was more to life than getting good grades. I consumed knowledge and experiences outside the curriculum box and realised that what you really needed in life was a cause to be passionate about, the will to put everything into doing something about that cause and not stopping until you had accomplished what you set out to do. I was a misfit throughout my years in formal education and found out when i got a job that none of the things i needed to know were taught during my education.

I took a stand and decided to bring the skills and experiences that young people really needed to learn through a curated series of excursions and industry based experiences. Starting a business with no prior experience, engaging with stakeholders in the education system to bring out the value of our programs and dealing with repeated roadblocks has been a very fulfilling experience for me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to travel on my bike and encounter new experiences. I would love to meet new people, explore non-commercial places and live the local life, with the help of couchsurfing.

Music, Movies, and Books

I play the guitar, so songs which i can play along to. Blues, Rock n Roll and Classic Metal are my favourites. I love films that focus on character development with a good story, such as Saving Private Ryan. I read a variety of books to do with racing, entrepreneurship, health and business.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Gone against everyone in my life to start my venture GlobalShaala, which focuses on experience based learning for kids.

Teach, Learn, Share

Working with kids has helped me learn how to break down complex concepts by relating them to everyday objects or phenomenon. I can break down Guitar, Insights on Business and how to ride a bike really fast to just about anyone. I love to learn new languages, try new adventure sports, learn to cook local cuisine and anything that makes me a better me. I can share my travel stories, entrepreneurship journey and my 2 paisa on life.

What I Can Share with Hosts

All my gyan in travel, entrepreneurship and sports.
