About Me

Other than secretly fighting crime at night, I am a regular 27 year old who is an entrepreneur in aerospace and drone industry. Building India's biggest drone company takes a lot out of me, and so I travel!

I am a person with passion, who wants to do things that he can do wholeheartedly. From enjoying lame stereotypical things like landing in Barcelona and playing Barcelona by Ed Sheeran, the first thing after switching on my phone to finding opportunities to work towards social equality, I like to do all that brings me joy.

I like to think I'm funny but awaiting validation on that one (jk). I know my food and I absolutely love eating good food.

Very ethical, I believe that it all boils down to helping others or harming others. Liberal in my religious and political views. Trying to acknowledge the grey in a world that I thought was made up of black and white.

I graduated from one of the finest educational institutes in the country in 2016, and was primarily involved in street theater and social entrepreneurship in college.

Really enjoy going out and chilling with friends, and do that a lot! ENFJ

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I had gone on a cultural exchange program to Germany in 10th grade (back in 2010). The exchange program was in partnership with a school in a small German town-Karlstadt.

Living with the exchange family, going to the town's community dinner, just sipping beer in their farm on a Saturday watching the sun go down, experiencing what life was like in the country side, going for public screening of Football matches (Yes! it was the 2010 world cup time), and getting a warm "Hallo" from everyone in the town because everyone there knew that "an Indian had come to live with the Endres". It was surreal! And that's not the end of it. A decade later, I still am in touch with people from the program.

I used to think - no matter how much people can pay, no one can every 'buy' this experience. I found the way I wanted to travel. And i guess couchsurfing is the closest I will get to it.

Let's see things from the local perspective, let's make bonds that last for life, and LET'S MAKE MEMORIES!

Favorite Music: I listen to all genres and would at least have 50 songs that I absolutely love, but it's the song 'I Lived' by One Republic that stuck around
"I owned every second that this world could give
I saw so many places, the things that I did
and with every broken bone, I swear I Lived"

Would love to explore anything new and refreshing here!!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I would love to introduce you to the local life in North India, tell you about the cultures in this diverse country, and help you get a glimpse of it by living with me and my family here in New Delhi.

Having spent all of my student life here, I know exactly the places that serve scrumptious Mughlai food, the right places to party, and the places that you should not miss here in Delhi.

Would love to help you with anything that makes your stay here in India more memorable! :)
