About Me

Let me try to spare you the generic "open-minded, easy-going" bio, that you read in 90% of profiles.

Born and raised in India🇮🇳. Living in Germany🇩🇪.

I am a life-loving person living in Braunschweig and always seek some adventurous interruption to my everyday life. I find candles rather lame, so I will be killing 27 beers the next time I have my birthday.

I have no special philosophy or mantra in life, but have developed some essentials whilst my travels.

-Better an "oops" than a "what if?"

-Carry half the luggage and twice the money than what I intended.

-Quality over quantity (especially concerning food)

-Be open enough, to let myself be influenced a little bit by everything.

-Be brave enough, to go a bit further beyond my comfort zone.

-It is difficult to say it, without making it sound like a platitude, but once in a while- pause and appreciate the great pleasure that nature has to offer as gifts to cherish rather than trophies for Instagram.

-Everything is a matter of measure and balance. It makes the difference between poison and medicine.

-MOST IMPORTANT: One day you'll leave this world behind, so live a life you will remember. (Avicii- The Nights)

I love to move around and explore, but when I am stuck here with work and worry, I can hear your tales of guns and glory. I am looking forward to welcome you in my home.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Since I love to travel, I love getting in touch with travellers.I want to see the world, but seeing doesn't mean just visiting places for me. It means also getting to know the people, their culture and their stories.

I like to have great conversation, drink and eat together and develop new bonds. But,most importantly save myself and fellow couchsurfers from Groundsurfing.

Adopted a guinea pig, I learnt to care deeply for animals and think for something beyond oneself.

Took an impromptu flair bartending class and aced it.
