I am a coder/programmer by profession in a startup in Mumbai. I am hobby photographer and passionate traveller. Courtesy of being part of an Army family, I have travelled all over North India during my formative years.

Thereafter, my first job with Infosys gave me ample opportunities to travel South India. As of now I have travelled approx. 25 Indian states and UT's. In addition, I have also been to 28 countries so far and counting.

You can get in touch with me if you are planning trips to Europe or any of the South Asian countries for free itineraries & tips about most places.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Even on all my solo backpacking trips, I have always tried to be as close to the locals as I can be (in terms of reading about the local customs, food habits and culture). I am brand new here and I hope I get to experience a variety of people of different ages, countries, genders etc.

Hakuna Matata!!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Difficult to just name one. But for a person who was scared of water, I did scuba diving in Bali and even took up swimming after that.

Next up is going cliff jumping in Philippines and Sky diving preferably in Dubai.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am pretty good at computers. Love to teach underprivileged students in my free time back home in India. I believe even though couchsurfing is free, one should always make efforts to pay back the community.

So if I could be of any help to you, feel free to let me know.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Apart from my happy go lucky & jovial nature. I am always up for discussing photography, sports and other travel ideas. Most of my time, I am either travelling or planning my next travel.
