I'm excited to connect with fellow travelers and hosts from around the world. I hold a BCom degree from the University of Delhi and an MBA from Boston University in the US. Later in life, I pursued an LLB to further diversify my skills.
As a business entrepreneur, I have established an international trade business in China and continue to explore various ventures in India. I am passionate about meeting new people, experiencing different cultures, and embracing the diverse opportunities that life has to offer.
Through Couchsurfing, I hope to create meaningful connections, share stories, and make unforgettable memories with like-minded individuals who share a love for exploration and adventure.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on Couchsurfing because I wholeheartedly believe in the transformative power of travel and the incredible connections that can be forged through sharing experiences with others. To me, Couchsurfing represents a global community of like-minded individuals who embrace adventure, curiosity, and the joy of discovering new cultures.
Through this platform, I hope to not only explore the world but also create lasting bonds with people from all walks of life. By immersing myself in local communities, I believe I can gain a deeper understanding of the places I visit, learn invaluable lessons, and cultivate a sense of belonging that transcends borders.
In offering my own home to fellow travelers, I have the opportunity to return the hospitality I've received and contribute to a more welcoming and interconnected world. Through Couchsurfing, I am grateful to be part of a community that celebrates the beauty of human connection, fosters cultural exchange, and reminds us that, ultimately, we are all global citizens on a shared journey of exploration and growth.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of the most amazing things I've done is embarking on an unforgettable business venture that allowed me to explore the vibrant cultures of China and Thailand. I had the incredible opportunity to live and work in these two fascinating countries while establishing my international trade business.
In China, I was based in the bustling city of Shenzhen, where I immersed myself in the local culture, learned basic Mandarin, and developed a deep appreciation for the country's rich history. During my time there, I visited the iconic Great Wall, explored the Forbidden City, and experienced the energetic atmosphere of the Shanghai Bund.
My business endeavors also took me to Thailand, a land of breathtaking natural beauty and friendly people. In Bangkok, I marveled at the intricate architecture of the Grand Palace and visited the floating markets, where I sampled delicious local delicacies. I also spent time in Chiang Mai, where I attended a traditional lantern release ceremony during the Yi Peng Festival and explored the stunning temples scattered throughout the city.
These experiences not only allowed me to establish my business but also left me with cherished memories and a profound appreciation for the diverse cultures of China and Thailand.
