Hi,

I am an avid Traveller with a wife and 2 lovely boys. Travel for work, like to meet people know about cultures traditions and places. Its best done with someone who knows around.

I live in Mumbai since 2002 and have been building my company ( www.ensemble.co.in ) in the space of Retail and Fashion Industry largely associated with Store Delivery and Design.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As I said most of my travels are alone since I do for work unless I am on a holiday and while the days are at work mostly the evenings are for getting a taste of the place around and spend some valuable time sharing insights about the place and the people. Locals and people living there have been a great draw and instantly open up a place which otherwise is a dot on the map.

Ive done it a few times in the past and it works!!!

Live life to its fullest....

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Skydiving (even the aspiration amazes me) ;)
Bungee
Travelling 24 hours without a penny (begging literally) in Mahabaleshwar.

Teach, Learn, Share

Share a lot ....learn a lot....teach none....the one of my fav books says....

you cannot teach anyone any more than he already knows.....if you meet the buddha on the road kill him!
