About Me

I love exploring new places, trying new things, learning new skills and meeting different people.

I am generally an introvert but not when I'm traveling :)

I love writing and although I don't spend as much time as I'd like to, it’s something I’ve stuck with for 10 years now!

Do what makes you happy today

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When I started travelling as a kid with my family, we always stayed at good hotels where they served the kind of food we were already used to having. This touristic approach deprived me of being on the receiving end of authentic cultural experiences and local cuisine. That's when I started staying in hostels and came across couch surfing.

Interests

I'm passionate about how effectively I spend my time!

Adventure: I like a little risk. High altitude Himalayan treks, River rafting, trail running, long-distance cycling and paragliding are some of the things I've learnt and indulged in-depth.

Sports: I'm a huge cricket, tennis and football buff. Been playing and following sports since I was a kid.

My education being commerce and business, I can talk about entrepreneurship, finance, stock market and allied topics for hours!
