ABOUT ME

I love to travel and connect with people all over the world. Everyone has a story to tell and I like to meet locals who know their hometown. Though, as a hotelier, I prefer staying at hotels, I always enjoy meeting up with people and gaining insight on the culture and history of where I’m staying. Getting insider tips on where to eat, drink and be a tourist is the way to go! It always gives me a unique perspective.

PHILOSOPHY

Be flexible but be reliable.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING I host surfers at my hotel when we have low occupancy and am sometimes free to show them around my little piece of paradise. This may be my way to help young people and pay back for people who helped me while I was hitch hiking in Europe. (when I was 20) I still love to make new friends and broaden my horizons . Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Ukraine , Russia , Mongolia, Bhutan, Iran, Philippines are some countries on my shortlist and I would love to connect with individuals from those places when I visit.
COUCHSURFING experiences, I have hosted a few interesting n many free loaders here in Newport Beach just to help them out and met few locals while traveling abroad. It makes such a difference to be able to see a city through the eyes of the people who live there.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My travels began when I was 20 years old and hitchhiked from India to Germany. It was the first of many wonderful adventures! Since then I have traveled to more then 50 countries, mostly in Europe and Asia and few in South, Central and North America. I’ve been on safari in Africa where my tour group happened to catch some Rhino poachers! It felt good to make a difference that day.
