ABOUT ME

I’m all about fun, adventure, and embracing new experiences—that’s why I’m here on Couchsurfing! I absolutely love the concept of meeting new people and building connections wherever I go.

Born in India, raised in New Zealand, educated in Australia, and further schooled (and worked!) in France, I’ve now landed in vibrant Dubai. I work in Sales and Marketing in the Aviation industry, covering the Middle East and Africa. Thanks to both my job and my lifelong passion for travel, I’ve been fortunate enough to visit over 100 countries—and I’m not stopping anytime soon! These days, I’m drawn to more off-the-beaten-path destinations and would love to meet fellow explorers who share that same adventurous spirit.

I had an amazing time living in Toulouse—the aerospace capital of the world! Between its famous rugby team, the long summer nights by the Garonne, and its closeness to both the Pyrenees (hello, skiing and hiking!) and the Mediterranean, it was the perfect base for exploring.

Travel has always been my passion. From my university days, I spent every summer jetting off—first exploring Asia, close to my home in Australia and NZ, then expanding my horizons to South America, Europe, and beyond as my career took off. I’ve made it a mission to visit new places and meet fascinating people along the way. Europe, the US, South America—you name it! If we’ve visited the same places, I’d love to hear your take! And if you’ve been somewhere I haven’t, convince me, and it’ll be on my list!

My two favorite countries to visit? India and New Zealand. No contest! (Well, maybe a little.)

If you’re interested in meeting or staying with me, send over a request! I’m usually on the go—busy with work or exploring the world myself—but if I’m in Dubai and you’re up for a fun time, you’ve got a spot in my home. Or we can always grab a drink and swap travel stories—just hit me up!

PHILOSOPHY

I’m a vegetarian and totally vegan-friendly! I deeply care about the planet we live on—no, I’m not a stereotypical “tree hugger,” but I do believe we can do a lot more to protect our precious Earth.

And hey, chant Hare Krishna and be happy—it works! 😊

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I will participate by sharing my experiences with other like minded people. By hosting them and by being hosted. I have couchsurfed in South America and Europe several times. I have met many people for coffee and drinks in many cities around the world, and have attend regular events and activities in my city!

More recently, I don't normally surf at peoples couches any more, but I host quite often.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

CS is absolutely amazing! I have couchsurfed in many countries around the world and have met so many cool people, the experieces we share are really great! I have learnt so much about many different cultures. Every experience was unique and truly rewarding!

I've hosted plenty of people from everywhere!
