What can I say in this column that would capture my personality in a few words? I like travelling, trekking and photography. I have spent a large part of my life in the mountains, which has made me into someone who appreciates spending time with nature in quiet contemplation. I have lived and worked in Pune, Dehradun and Delhi, so I have also had my share of parties and wild nights out.

I like reading books, and can hold a conversation with you on a variety of diverse topics. I appreciate good music, movies and food ( so if you are into any of the above, I'm sure we can spend some quality time together.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

It was when I escaped from a panther while I was returning back to my hostel in Dehradun. It was late night and I happened to see a big dog crossing the road in front me. When I slowed down and pointed my bike's headlight on it, it turned out to be a big panther. I just revved up and got the hell out of there. It remains one of my more memorable bike rides to this day! ;)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can offer you a place to sleep and will be able to show you around the city. Alternatively, I can point out the cool places to hang out in my city, where you can avoid the usual crowd and get a real feel of the place.
