VACCINATED AGAINST COVID-19

Nice, talkative, open-minded, always up to meet new people. :)

A guy trying to turn into a full-time traveler and achieving his dreams of traveling the world and exploring how different life can be in different corners of the earth. A big part of me is into traveling and meeting people from across the world because this is what makes me happy and energetic.

Also, I'm part of many NGOs and many community groups to help people and support their living, medical, and education while traveling to small villages of India.

I am eager to learn from people about their way of living, culture, and understanding the world. Just trying to be a good and easy-going person with all respect for nature and my hosts(if that's going to be you ;P). I believe in people holding onto each other to be happy.

Travel + Coffee + Food= That's all I need.

Current Mission-
Love, laugh, travel and Repeat- Most importantly to be happy.

Before sending me a request, please read my whole profile and especially the " My Home " section.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love traveling and meeting new people and I think CouchSurfing is the only place where I can find real travelers with unique experiences.

A friend of mine from New Zealand suggested me CouchSurfing app while I was traveling with her in the South Island last year.

If I ever get a chance I would be happy to host some interesting people in my hometown and show them the culture and heritage of Patiala(A small town in northern India).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I try to make each day amazing and living life to the fullest.

-Rafting in Ganges River through the ice-cold water.
-Night Mountain Trekking in the Himalayas.
- Sky diving from 18,500 ft(One of the highest altitudes) with 75 seconds of free fall.
- Hitchhiking & for 1200 KMS in the Himalayas
- Survived a day with no money in Auckland, NZ as I lost my bag and wallet.
- Trekking and night camping in mountains in -10degree.
- Hitchhiking on trucks, the roof of buses, and bikes.

Also, I support the child help foundation (https://www.childhelpfoundation.in/) and cancer treatment(http://harikrishn.org/story.html) for people who can't afford it, I think this is one of the amazing things I do or have done.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you Hindi, Punjabi, recipes for Indian food. If you are interested in finance or sales, I can share my knowledge about it as I'm closely involved in it.

Share stories about my travel, work, and corporate life. I would be happy to learn the language you speak, your cuisine and more about your city/country.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Laugh, talk, and I cook decent Indian food.

I don't have any particular highly specialized skills, but one thing I can guarantee is that I can provide my little help in every kind of work, as I have done almost every type of work at my home.

So I can be a Cook, Story Teller, Photographer, driver etc. you name it, and I will try to do it
