Overview
About Me
I'm a young chap from Chennai, India, hooked to trekking and travelling. My dream is to live my last life on the foothills of Himalayas. I'm a regular member of Chennai Trekking Club, that is closest to my heart for taking me into the forests of South India and teach me the invaluable skill of Navigating the mountains and getting me to outdoors. My life got upside down after I joined the club in 2013, and I began feeling happier and healthier.
I used to work with an IT company in Chennai to earn my bread and butter, and support my outdoor life. Now I'm looking to pursue my higher studies, for which I'm exploring various options.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I love travelling with a purpose. I usually take my cycle when I fly long to Nepal/Bhutan and explore on my own legs. I was very excited about my first solo trip to a neighboring country Bhutan in 2014. I'm planning to stay at Manali/Leh regions for climbing with my climber friend and spend a minimalist life for 2-3 months.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I have been trekking with Chennai Trekking Club since 2013 and I was promoted as an organizer in the club during late 2014. Personally, it was an invaluable stuff that I earned in life.
Teach, Learn, Share
I'm a coder for living and coding unconventional things excite me. I can also teach outdoor survival skills to survive in the mountains of South India, to some extent. Currently I'm pursuing climbing with my friend and intend to learn something solid by end of 2017. I'm also open to learning anything that interests me and involves outdoors in general.
What I Can Share with Hosts
My home at Chennai is well furnished and my hosts can expect all their basic needs satisfied. Food costs can be shared.
