Riding, writing, music, food and nature - my five passions in life. I consider myself a rather simple guy with aspirations of leading a quite (but not boring) life. As much as I look forward to interesting adventures everyday, a day where I get to - listen to some music, pen down a few words, cook/eat good food, ride my motorcycle and watch the sunset - is a day well spent for me.

I'm currently working for an Adventure Travel company, in Gurgaon (been working remotely from Manali since the Pandemic began) - the place I was born and raised. I had a pretty uneventful childhood, in a rural small town called Pataudi, with extremely less exposure to travel and art amongst other substantial things in life, for which I've been trying to compensate ever since I got financially independent. Over the last decade, I've traveled extensively in Northern India and have also spent some time on the west coast of the country. Besides my five passions in life, the idea is to know/experience more - about music, cultures, sports, history, food, folks etc.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To learn to be able to be more spontaneous in my travels (and in life). I consider myself a giving human being and have a naïve expectation of everyone being similar in nature. I'm here to reaffirm that perception.
