average joe working corporate jobs and big tech for bread, insurance, family dinners, self-esteem and air tickets.
i love those trips with a one-way ticket, rucksack and thirst to wander. experiences and stories speak to me more than pictures and vlogs. although i drive around a lot post-pandemic, i love taking the public transport, hitch-hike and walk my way to have lived expereinces.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

my grandfather was born a rich man, spent all his money travelling, raised his kids with good education, died a man rich with experiences and not so much of money, never regretted a day of his life! so why not? if life takes you with an ache to travel, unending fernweh, live the life, make the most of it.
people deserve to travel, see places, have the lived experience; stories are to be shared, folklores said and songs be sung. i would love to help travellers in a way i would love to be helped.
i live with my wife usually in cities, and we move around where the job takes us, always have an apartment with room for a friendly traveller. currently in my hometown, Kerala - god's own country and we're seeing around, while travel is restricted. travellers are welcome here too.
