I am a social impact enthusiast. I left my job with Cisco to work with farmers in India and Africa on sustainable and climate smart agriculture. Last one year I've been working in the water space - developing innovative technology to monitor/mitigate pollution in Indian Rivers. Coincidentally, I come from the state of Punjab (India), which means the land of 5 rivers, and has been (was) the epicentre of agriculture due to immense water resources. I love cooking on weekends and writing poems at dead ends. I am pretty chilled out and accommodative as a person.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because meeting kind strangers and learning about their stories is such an enriching experience. I love deep meaningful conversations, collaborative cooking, and sharing stories. This is a great way to venture out of our comfort zones and learn about new people and cultures.

More amazing things are yet to happen in life.

Teach, Learn, Share

Couch surfing is all about reciprocity! I'd love to add to my host's life in whatever way possible.
I can cook for you, help you clean, organise your place, etc.

I'd love to learn about your life, culture, values and anything you're passionate about. I crave for nuggets of wisdom from strangers.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can cook you nice Indian food (if we can arrange the ingredients!).
