I'm a 26 year old IT engineer from India, also working on something of my own, hoping to go the entrepreneurial route in the future.
While I'm only starting out with my international trips, traveling is not optional for me. I have visited most states of India, have lived in at least 8 different cities for more than a year and have many stories to share.

I've made many friends, from all corners of the planet and have realized that just about everyone has an interesting story to tell if someone would just listen. I'm always in pursuit of meeting new people and learning more about them.

I'm an avid reader (mostly fiction), love poetry, music, photography and just about any other art form, a nature loving traveler and a student of anything interesting in any way.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Just starting out on international trips, couch-surfing doesn't only make it affordable but provides the opportunity to meet interesting people from different countries.

Books: Have read most of Lee child's work, as have read Robert Ludlum and John Grisam; I loved Rabindranath Tagore's original works, Sukumar ray's poems.

Presently, my favorite author is David Baldacci.

I'm a sucker for poems, my favorite poets being Emily Dickinson and Charles Bukowski.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've hiked a lot of northern mountains in India alone, with a 70L backpack and no idea where I'm going, I've often camped at the wrong place, too many times to remember.

The amazing part though, has never been the trekking itself. Whenever I am lost, and come across a willing stranger going out of his way to help me out, with no expectations of any benefit to himself, I realize how beautiful this world really is.
Whenever I listen to louis armstrong's "A wonderful world", I find the song extremely accurate in it's portrayal of the world.
