About Me

Hello Surfers!

So finally, after a year, I have decided to edit my profile information. Now I have graduated from Kyung Hee University (KHU) with a doctorate and have just started my tenure as a research professor at KHU.

I have hosted few surfers so far, those can be seen in my profile. I have had excellent experiences with almost all, and due to the pandemic, like all, I couldn’t help much to the community. So finally decided to give it an active start again.

I am fun loving, outspoken and have this keen interest to interact with new people. I live nearby Kyung Hee University, which is 20 minutes from Seoul station and approximately an hour and a half from Incheon airport. I am outgoing but due to my job I may not be able to give a company on weekdays but hell ya!!! Weekends works.

There are some perquisites which I would like to emphasize and hopefully, you will read before requesting to host.

1) If I couldn’t find my name in your request message, it probably ended up unattended.
2) Verified or referenced members will get the priority other than that depends on how genuine is your request message.
3) Max of 3 days and 2 nights would be preferable until and unless there is some strong reason to stay longer. Specially related to academics.

——Recently, I moved to a new house which comprises a single room with a separate kitchen and washroom. So the thing is you have to “SHARE” the room with me.
——You will be provided with all the necessary items which include paddings, blanket, quilt, wifi, household items, etc, etc. I usually cook, so if you like cooking I am more than happy to hand over my cooking apron.

~House Information~
- Location of the house is relatively peaceful, 5-10 minutes walk from the nearest metro station and 2 minutes walk from the nearest bus stop. 15 minutes walk from the direct bus to the airport.
- Within a radius of 300 meters, you can find a couple of restaurants and bars.
- I am quite a busy person so please don’t ask me to accompany you, especially on weekdays. On the weekends, I am happy to walk around with you.
- I will provide you all the necessary details of must-visit sites in Seoul.
-No smoking and strictly banned inside the building premises.

——— After your request is accepted, please send a photo of your passport. You can blur or hide the passport number. Which I am not interested in, this is just for the security concerns. Please make sure you provide the exact “date” and “time” of arrival.

——- CS app doesn’t allow to share photos so you can send it in the email id which I will provide you after the acceptance.

That was it from my side!

Thank you for reading!

Music, Movies, and Books

I mostly listen to Bollywood acostic music, except that any English music is fine. I like movies based on actual events, especially those related to the action or armed forces can also be from adventure genre. I am a reader and mostly read historical stuff. Other than that, I like to read fiction and motivational also. Recently found my interest in investing and finance.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Paragliding in Bir biling in India. Bike riding in Himalayan terrains, trekking in the northern part of India, my hometown.

Teach, Learn, Share

I don’t teach. I believe travelers have that wisdom; you can learn about Korea and Korean society, and I can share all about that. Instead of that if you want to talk about startups and high tech industries i am more than happy to discuss.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Experiences of my travels, beer, whiskey etc. etc.

Countries I’ve Visited

China, France, Netherlands, South Korea, United Kingdom, United States

Countries I’ve Lived In
