About Me

An easy going, happy go lucky guy who belives in investing more in experiences than goods. Travel, food and human bonds are the closest to my heart.

My education and work has taken me places and gave me the opportunity to travel and explore places, people, cultures. All of which, I believe are a must in one's lifetime, as they give us new perspectives, open our minds and teach us some of the best lesson of our lives.

For me, a major part of traveling is to meet new people, make friends, learn their way of life, relish the authentic local cuisine, see their country through their lens. Couchsurfing is that one amazing platform that allows me to explore the world just the way I love.

Mantra: Never stop exploring this beautiful planet of ours

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe people make the places. The soul of a place is with the people who reside there. What better way than to mingle with the locals, experience the culture, cities, towns in their truest form, understanding their way of life and visiting gems of places that only locals know of.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a strong believer that every person is a product of their experiences in life and there will always be something that we can learn from a human being. That's the beauty of life.

I love to share experiences, exchange perspectives and see how it alters my though process and learn what I can.

Travel and meet people from various cultures can only enrich ones life experience. Gratitude towards this life we live can be humbling.
