About Me

I am a wandersoul! The only passion I have is to travel the world and keep meeting new people. I am an experience designer for travellers who visit Varanasi, also work as a freelancer production coordinator, journalist correspondent, connector and storyteller. I recently organised and curated a TEDX event as well which was one of its kind experience!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

"Travelling leaves you speechless and then turns you into a storyteller. " That's the exact reason why I am here, to connect with different people, share experiences and keep travelling. I meet a lot of people in my city "Varanasi" which is "the oldest civilised city on earth" and have had very good experiences so far. Whenever I bump into a tourist or traveller, I help them and try to show them around so that they can have a good experience,
And I think it's all about " KARMA ", therefore I believe that if I have helped people, people will help me :)

Music, Movies, and Books

I am a Hindi music fan!

Movies - Inception, Eat Pray Love, The Marvel Series, 7 years in Tibet, The Lone Survivor, and many more! I am crazy about movies and "F.R.I.E.N.D.S" :)

Books - I try to read as much as possible and don't have a specific genre preference.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Since past 2 years, I am spending my Christmas and New Years in a 15 day train journey across India with 500-600 unknown people on one single train with no luxuries!
