About Me

Love for travel, meeting interesting people going to unexplored places, savouring local food excites me and satisfies my soul.

I believe that any journey you take up first begins in your wandering mind and then you go all out to make it happen, and ofcourse the destination comes along but the experiences you have on your way makes you a story teller and that I am!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Its the best place to connect to people who have similar views towards many aspects of life as you do. And the main passion every couchsurfer carries is travelling and meeting new exciting people on his journey and i feel that is what makes the travel experience special!

Teach, Learn, Share

Food I believe is the best way to make a person happy and I Love cooking, being raised in India I am always fascinated by the smell of curries spices and fresh vegies.
