Overview
About Me
Hi! I’m a friendly and open-minded person who loves meeting people from different cultures and backgrounds. I work nights for an American software company, so I enjoy quiet days and active evenings. My wife and mother are my wonderful companions at home, along with our playful pet cat who loves making new friends.
I’m passionate about exploring new places, trying out local cuisines, and sharing the beauty of my hometown, Kerala, with others. Whether it’s guiding you to must-visit spots or sharing stories over a cup of tea, I love creating memorable experiences for my guests.
I believe in making people feel at home, so my place is your place—warm, welcoming, and filled with good vibes. Looking forward to connecting and sharing great moments together
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I’ve been on Couchsurfing for the past 12 years and have always loved the concept, but until now, I never had the opportunity to host or fully experience it. Finally, I’m excited to be able to connect with travelers and share the warmth of my home. I believe in the spirit of hospitality and enjoy meeting new people, learning about different cultures, and showing them the beauty of Kerala.
For me, Couchsurfing isn’t just about offering a place to stay—it’s about building meaningful connections, exchanging stories, and creating lasting memories. Whether it’s sharing a meal, exploring the city, or having a great conversation, I’m looking forward to the experience and to making your journey memorable
Interests
I’m an extrovert who loves making new friends and building meaningful connections. I enjoy deep, meaningful conversations and believe in the power of talking to heal and understand one another. I’m also a nature lover who enjoys spending time outdoors, whether it’s exploring new places or just appreciating the natural beauty around me. Music is another passion of mine—it’s a big part of my life and a great way to unwind and connect with others

Music, Movies, and Books
I’m not really into books and movies, though I do watch films from time to time. When it comes to music, I’m quite flexible—anything that sounds good to my ears works for me! I especially love acoustic or unplugged versions of songs; there’s something about the raw, stripped-down sound that really resonates with me. But at the end of the day, I enjoy all kinds of music—if it feels good, I’m all for it!
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
One amazing thing I've done is help my friends, especially the women in my life, step out of their comfort zones and embark on solo travel. This experience had a profound impact on their personal growth and emotional well-being, empowering them to become more confident and independent
Teach, Learn, Share
I believe in the power of sharing knowledge and experiences. I love teaching and learning from others, whether it’s about different cultures, personal growth, or new skills. I’m always open to sharing what I know and eager to learn from the unique perspectives and stories of the people I meet. Whether it’s offering travel tips, exchanging life lessons, or simply having a meaningful conversation, I enjoy creating a space for mutual learning and sharing
What I Can Share with Hosts
I’m always happy to share stories, experiences, and insights from my travels and life in Kerala. I can offer local tips on places to visit, great food spots, and hidden gems around the city. I love exchanging ideas and perspectives, so I’m open to deep conversations on various topics. Additionally, I can share a warm and welcoming environment, as well as home-cooked meals prepared by my mother. Whether it’s a cup of tea or a cultural exchange, I’m excited to connect and make your experience memorable.
