Photographer | Beach bum | Traveller | Foodie

Living in Mandrem, Goa (Oct to Apr) and travelling during the off season. Anytime you're in Goa or India I would love to show you around (no I don't ride an elephant anymore - exchanged it for a smartphone).

I'm a hotelier and also a freelancing photographer/cinematographer. My work involves renting my beach houses from Oct-April in Mandrem, Goa (casadcalma). I also take photo projects for landscape shoots, fashion/glamour art, interiors, food photography and I've worked as a DOP/Cinematographer for short films and commercial specs. The rest of the time I travel places or visit friends from across the globe.

I love cooking therefore I'm offering fusion cuisine as a guest chef. I also do food consultation and restaurant startups.

Honestly, let's meet up and have a chat over a few drinks! One life, let's enjoy meeting new people, being yourself ( let your guard down and throw the formalities out)..because it's not worth being anything less than happy.

Что привело меня на Couchsurfing

Great platform to meet new people and learn new cultures, experiences and have a happy life on this planet while travelling.

I've hosted a bunch of people (Germans, Russians, Ukranians, Brits, Canadians, Indians) at my house in Goa as well as when I was living in LA,USA. It's been such a wonderful time making new friends and then visiting them in their countries.

Классная вещь, которую я сделал(-а)
