First things first—I’m not here to date or dive into anything casual.

Now that that’s out of the way: I’m a born networker and dreamer with a passion for deep conversations. As an entrepreneur and indie filmmaker, I’ve got stories to share and an insatiable love for travel—probably inherited from our wandering ancestors.

I thrive on exploring cultures, religions, and regions, and have a soft spot for animals and nature. Oh, and I’m a classic Gemini who happens to be vegetarian. Still figuring life out, but always up for an adventure!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

A famous Hindu scripture says Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam, meaning ‘the world is one family.’ For me, travel isn’t about ticking off tourist spots or posting Instagram-worthy pics and calling it ‘exploring.’ I’m here for real connections—because who knows? You might just be my next investor, client, guest, or lifelong friend!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Though I’m feeling pretty sorted in life, I wouldn’t say I’ve done anything wildly impactful to brag about—yet. But if there’s one thing I’m proud of, it’s that I’ve made more genuine friends through Couchsurfing than I’ve collected references and reviews.

Real connections > References!

Teach, Learn, Share

I proudly wear the title: jack of all trades, master of none. I can teach you the basics of self-defense, filmmaking, and even a bit of Kannada (my mother tongue). If you’re up for it, I can also show you how to cook some South Indian veggie dishes.

I’m game to learn just about anything—from glass painting to mead making (though coding is where I draw the line, it just doesn’t click!). My friends say I’m a good storyteller, so I’d love to share experiences about my entrepreneurial journey, married life, and the culture shocks I’ve survived. Oh, and if you’re visiting my hometown, I’ll make sure you taste the real local flavors and explore hidden gems!”

What I Can Share with Hosts

Hey there! As a storyteller by heart, I come armed with intriguing tales from my corner of the world—everything from mind-bending culture shocks, quirky life incidents, to the wonders of my region and religion (don’t worry, I’m not here to convert anyone, just to amuse!). I’m also pretty handy in the kitchen, so expect some delicious Indian vegetarian dishes—let’s say, if you like your spices with a hint of adventure.

Bonus: I’m OCD-friendly, which means your place will probably end up cleaner than I found it! So, if you’re looking for someone who adds both flavor and tidiness, I might just be your next favorite guest!
