I'm out here trying to figure out what's inside me by going to places outside me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I don't believe in being a tourist at any place I go to. For me, travel is more than going around getting pictures clicked in front of pretty buildings. True experiences come from meeting people and understanding their stories, from nearby or from a distance. Couch surfing for me is a way to get a better feel of the place, meet someone completely new and obviously, find a place to stay.

Music, Movies, and Books

My playlist has 70's rock, 80's jazz, 90's pop, 00's R&B and recent hip hop. So it's something for everyone. I read Salman Rushdie and Jack Kerouac. Favourite TV series: Mozart in the Jungle.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've dipped in the freezing Arctic Ocean on the coast of the village Bugøynes in Norway. I have also climbed world's highest trekking peak- Stok Kangri, in Ladakh, Jammu and Kashmir.

Teach, Learn, Share

Cooking, writing, physical conditioning, other academic stuff if I remember it

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can tell my stories from all the people that I've met and what I learnt from them, because trust me there are tonnes of it. Also, if we get drunk together, I might just write some poetry that you'll love for sure. If you like spicy Indian food, I'll make sure you eat something that is unforgettable and at the same time something you keep on making for yourself after I'm gone.
