About Me

"Once a year, go someplace you’ve never been before“ – Dalai Lama.
My aim is it to do it more than once a year ! :)

I need to go somewhere where I can MARVEL at something!
Hey:) I am originally from Mumbai, Maharashtra but I keep moving around within India and I have done a couple of projects in Europe as well. I love travelling and adventure sports. I went on my first solo trip outside India when I was 19 when I was doing a research project in Germany.

Back home now:)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Like I said I love to travel. I've been to Europe quite a few times either doing a research project or just backpacking across Europe. I love meeting new people and trying new cuisine. I am a big foodie.

I am always looking to meet new people when I am travelling and it is just unique to look at a city/country from a Local's perspective:)

Interests

Massive football fan. I love playing and watching the games especially the premier league.
Photography| Ultimate Frisbee| Hiking| Tech Freak

Music, Movies, and Books

Favourite band : Alt-J.
I love indie rock, soft rock, fusion rock and alternative rock.
Big fan of Coldplay, Switchfoot, The Beatles, Foo Fighters, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Mumford & Sons, The Killers, The Doors, Aerosmith, Guns N Roses and Pink Floyd.

Favourite book would be The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini. My favourite author though is Dan Brown. Catcher In the Rye is a must read.

I also like Agatha Christie, Jeffrey Archer, and Matthew Reilly.

Favourite movies would be Good Will Hunting, We Bought A Zoo, Miracle, Remember the Titans, Inception, The Intern and The Prestige.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Jumped off a bridge in Mostar, Bosnia & Herzegovina.

First solo trip when I was 18 :)

Teach, Learn, Share

"People make the Place"
(My favourite quote)

"You are never wrong to do the right thing."

I am quite the nerd at times so we can talk about a lot of tech.
Love a good debate.

Want to grow up and become a humanitarian.
I love travelling and want to continue doing that.

It will be awesome to combine the two.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Well, I am a really lively person and easy going.
I love learning about other cultures and at the same time love talking about mine:)

I am always up for an adventure and getting to meet new people.
We Indians are known for our warmth and hospitality:)

I would love to teach you some Hindi(our national language) and all about our food and culture.
