ABOUT ME

Born and raised in Bombay, India. I moved to Toronto 15 years ago for my MBA and now call it home. It is a great city to live in. I work in e-commerce / digital marketing / advertising. I like marketing, media, technology, business and history.

I love different cultures, cuisines, history, etc.
I am a vegetarian :) :(

I'm not that crazy drinker but do love wine and vodka occasionally.

Cross-Fit / Gym, Volleyball, Swimming, Adventure Sports, Scuba Diving when I can

I'm a straight guy but have respect for everybody - doesn't matter about colour, race, individual preferences.

Can speak 5.25 languages.
Been to 90+ countries and looking forward to see more.

PHILOSOPHY

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

As a host - I have hosted many people while I was in Montreal in summer of 2010, in Vienna in Fall 2010. I met so many wonderful people and fortunately, I am still in touch with few of them. I attended few CS meetings and events.

As a guest - I like spending time with the host nicely at least once over coffee / drinks / dinner. It is pointless just to be at someone's place for a couch and not even interact with the person.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Have hosted many people while I was working for Cirque du Soleil in Montreal, Canada and surfed a lot during my Eurotrip. CS is awesome.
