Hello, Fellow Travelers!
I’m an ambivert explorer fueled by a love for stories, adventures, and the magic of human connections. By day, I work in the social sector, making an impact where it’s needed most. By night, I let my creativity soar—diving into soulful music, vibrant art, and conversations that stretch into the night.

Goa is where I’ve dropped anchor, living with my partner in the lively beachside town of Calangute. He’s from Andhra Pradesh, and together, we balance the calm of our professional lives with the rhythm of this coastal paradise. Living here feels like being in a never-ending postcard, where every sunset paints a new story and the sea breeze whispers promises of adventure.

Why Stay With Me?
Our cozy studio apartment might be small, but it’s filled with warmth and an open heart for fellow travelers. We can host short, one-night stays for travelers who arrive in the evening and head off to their next adventure in the morning. I work from home, so my mornings kick off at 9 a.m., but before that, I’d love to swap travel tales or show you a glimpse of Goa through a local lens.

A Bit About My Goa
Calangute isn’t just a tourist hub—it’s a place where the bustling streets meet tranquil beaches, where life is best experienced with sand between your toes and the scent of spice in the air. I’d love to help you discover the Goa that exists beyond the guidebooks.

Thank you for understanding the rhythm of our little space—I hope to share stories, smiles, and a slice of this beachy paradise with you!

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

For me, travel is about connection—the kind that lingers long after you’ve left a place. Couchsurfing feels like a treasure chest of untold stories, shared meals, and laughter with strangers who quickly become friends.

Musik, Filme und Bücher

Music is my happy place. I’m a hardcore fan of Coke Studio, Sufi melodies, and qawwalis that stir the soul. Desi music has my heart, but I also adore exploring regional gems—Marathi, Telugu, and Malayalam songs transport me to another world.

Speaking of Malayalam, I’m a Marathi mulgi with a massive love for Malayalam cinema. I’ve watched over 40 Malayalam movies in 2024 alone (yes, I’m a proud FaFa fan!). There’s something about their storytelling that feels so authentic and raw—it’s pure magic.

Beyond music and movies, I’m on a personal journey to cultivate better habits inspired by Atomic Habits. Every day is a step toward becoming the person I aspire to be.

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

I’ve camped under starry skies during the Fireflies Festival, marveled at nature’s wonders during the Turtle Festival, and pitched tents by the beach, waking up to the sound of waves. Traveling for work has shown me the beauty of blending purpose with adventure, and I’m here to continue that journey with like-minded souls.

Lehren, lernen, teilen

A soulful playlist, recommendations for underrated Indian music and movies, fun dance moves, and a conversation about life’s quirks and wonders. If you’re a fellow dreamer or adventurer, let’s meet!

Was ich mit Gastgebern teilen kann

I believe the best part of traveling is the exchange of stories, cultures, and ideas. As a guest, I’d love to bring a slice of my world to yours! Whether it’s sharing delicious Indian recipes (especially Marathi flavors!), introducing you to some soulful music like Coke Studio, qawwalis, or regional gems, or simply chatting about the magic of movies and travel, I’m all in.

If you’re a cinema enthusiast, I’d be thrilled to recommend (or even rewatch!) some incredible Malayalam, Marathi, or Telugu films that have left a mark on me. I can also share my love for abstract painting, photography tips, or even some quirky dance moves if the vibe is right!

Above all, I’m here to connect, listen, and exchange experiences that make hosting and traveling so special. 😊
