Overview
About Me
Hey there!
I am a finance graduate and a consultant. I grew up in India and Saudi Arabia. Got a passion for adventures, travelling and exploring new cultures. Initially started travelling with friends and loved it. I try to travel as much as I can during my breaks.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Couchsurfing is such an awesome way to meet people that I wouldn't normally meet. Being able to experience different cultures is eye opening. In return, I look forward to hosting others to try and give back to the community. At the very least, I make sure to teach my hosts something valuable that would improve their lives :) I believe in creating experiences regardless of whether I host or surf.
"Caring about others, meeting strangers, and leaving an impact on people, brings happiness."
“Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened.”
"To travel is to discover that everyone is wrong about other cultures"
