Currently working as a Senior Risk Analyst at AIG Bangalore, Planning to pursue a master's in Business Analytics in Sydney, Australia (2021). I have always been an introvert until I become comfortable with a person, traveling and exploring new places, meet new amazing individuals has helped a lot in overcoming this. I love to try new things and check off my ever-changing bucket list.

Around the world in a lifetime !!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing is a perfect platform that transcends boundaries and helps connect travelers with other fellow travelers without any monetary value. It helps one experience the unknown and at the end of the day makes one a bit wiser. For years people have believed one needs money to travel, Couchsurfing highlights the fact that one need not be a millionaire to travel. In order to truly explore a place, one needs to know the local culture, the language, etc and couch surfing acts as a perfect ice breaker. I prefer the unconventional way of traveling and I often end up planning the majority of my trips on the spur of the moment. Couchsurfing is not only about getting a place to crash which I believe is a general perception but I believe one needs to look beyond and connect with amazing individuals from all cultures and countries.I mostly travel solo due as it gives me the freedom to be flexible but I am open to traveling with few friends or in an unknown group.

Looking forward to being hosted and hosting, Ciao !!
