About Me

I believe in making the most out of life and try to enjoy even the small moments everyday that can instill a sense of fulfillment and happiness in me. I am a teetotaler and would love a day of hiking and exploring rather than partying. I am a huge nature lover and I make an attempt to capture as much of it as I can. Road trips are my absolute favorites. I believe nothing gives you as much freedom as a road trip. I am very passionate about music and it pretty much forms a part of my life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Well, if I had my way, I'd travel to live and live to travel. Nothing pleases me more than an opportunity to travel and explore. Travel for me is not merely about visiting newer places but about experiencing the culture, the cuisine of the place. And what better way to do this than to tour a place with the locals and interact with them to truly know a destination inside out? Couchsurfing has just made travel more accessible and complete for me!

Music, Movies, and Books

Any soft and soulful music. Not really interested in movies but I love some of the English classics. I am not at all a voracious reader and therefore have read a limited number of books to choose a favorite from. But I love reading self-help books. 'The Alchemist' and 'The Monk who sold his Ferrari' are the ones I'd recommend to anyone.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Staying true to my word, I have tried to tour as many places in India with my parents by road ever since I found my passion for cars and road trips. But the standout among these has to be my road trip to Leh-Ladakh from Mumbai and back spanning over 14 days and around 7500 km. I myself am now more than 3000 km old.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'll definitely try my best to regale my hosts with experiences from my road trips (mostly from the drive to Ladakh) and would love to hear theirs in return. I am sure that I'll be a pleasant company for hosts and am looking forward to touring and exploring places with them through their eyes.
