I am a photographer by passion. Two and a half years ago, I quit my day job as a marketing manager and became a full-time photographer. I have been living in Gurgaon as my base but I travel most of the time when I am not working. I am a wedding photographer. I go with the name www.idontsaycheese.com. I am rebuilding my website so it may be down. However, my work can be seen on my Facebook page with the same name. I have deactivated my personal Facebook page as I felt it was unnecessary.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have heard a great deal about couch surfing. I think I am very curious to experience this whole new way of meeting people, engaging with them, knowing their stories, and making new friends in life. It is very important for me to be sure what I do with my time and who I choose to spend it with.

At present, I am in Canada for a few months beginning March 2016. I am looking to meet new people, take photos of people and places, treasure memories, and garner experiences. Life is all about experiences. I am on a journey which I might like to write about.
