I am a solar energy professional and currently employed in India. I love backpacking and bike touring. When I am not traveling, I usually end up riding my mountain bike through some of the xc trails around gurgaon.

I also enjoy running, swimming, sports climbing and trekking. Tea, beer, good food, friends and family are my lifeline.

Classic rock gets a disproportionate representation in my playlist.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Haven't done much so far. I don't plan my travels so haven't really had the opportunity to surf somebody's couch but had to rely on airbnb and youth hostels most of the time.

I cannot host people at the moment because i am living with friends and don't have much to offer in terms of accommodation. But extremely open to hosting people for tea, drinks, food and general information about my city.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Yet to have a real couchsurfing experience. Had attended one of the meet ups some time back. Was amazing to meet so many like minded personalities.
