Just a young lad, exploring this little thing called life. Like many here, travel is my escapsim. Toured, trekked, backpacked across a good chunk of India. Used to build and write code to fly autonomous drones. Used to be a quizzer. A former theater artist. Constantly in pursuit of new experiences and weaving stories. I'm a vegetarian and I've been learning to cook lately. Intend to learn a musical instrument one day. Agnostic with almost everything, learning personal likes/dislikes. Hustling through life, on the quest for inner peace.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Most of my travels up until this point have been at the hostels of India. Fellow travellers suggested I should try this experience and hence here to take it up a notch, meet people and listen to their stories, gain different perspectives.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A few amazing things I've done for myself - becoming open to newness and living out of the comfort zone, learn about mindfulness and travelling
Amazing thing I've done for someone else - made my friends and parents proud

Teach, Learn, Share

Would love to share what I learnt about my experience with mindfulness and how my perspective has changed over the years with respect to religion, god, love and life in general. Can definitely also share about my learning from work (technical and non-technical) and how I've evolved professionally.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I've been told I cook decent, can talk to you about Indian culture, nuances of the way of life in India
The photographs from some of the best spots I've been to.
The experiences I've gained over this short life.
A curious mind and ear to listen to you and your stories.
Maybe would even dance a little with you.
