About Me

Hello!I grew up in India but I'm currently living in Dubai. I'm into Computer security and as such I spend most of the days in Dubai sitting in an office in front of a computer. I travel quite a lot and have visited over 30 countries. I'm progressive, open minded, and enjoy intellectual discussions. I have made amazing friends from every continent, and posses a global mindset. I like climbing mountains and have climbed 5 peaks over 20,000 feet, and i am learning to Ski since a couple of years. In my spare time I like to explore new places to hang out in Dubai, and the other time i am mostly in the gym. I really enjoy Swimming and i am learning to play Tennis.

This is my first time trying Couchsurfing out. I have friends who have hosted other travelers before and have had very positive experiences. I would like to try it out too.

Dubai has been my home for 7 years. I'm happy to show you around! Dubai Marina is right across the street, and the beach is just 10 minutes away! It makes for a great walk with nice views :).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet different people from different nationalities and learn about different cultures. When i am not traveling, i usually miss meeting interesting travelers on a regular basis, and this is the reason to be here. I like meeting open-minded individuals and learning and participating in different lifestyles as well as sharing my own background.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Did a first ascent by an Indian of Nirekha Peak in Winters in Dec 2019. The mountain is about 6200 meters above sea level and is quite technical with 70 degree snow and ice slopes. We had high winds and temperatures of -30 degrees below 0. Apart from that, i love climbing in general and keep visiting Nepal from time to time.
