About Me

Hello! I'm a curious and open-minded traveler who loves meeting new people and exploring the world's diverse cultures. I thrive on authentic experiences that go beyond the usual tourist trails, and I believe Couchsurfing offers a unique way to connect, share stories, and learn from locals.

Professionally, I’m involved in international education , helping students achieve their dreams of studying. This role has given me a deep appreciation for cultural exchange and global perspectives. Outside of work, I have a strong interest in ancient technology, history, and mythology I’m always up for a thoughtful conversation about culture, history, or even current events.

When I’m not working or learning something new, you’ll probably find me hiking, cooking, or exploring local markets. I consider myself a friendly, respectful, and flexible guest, always eager to lend a hand or share a meal.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

'm on Couchsurfing because I believe travel is about more than just seeing new places—it’s about truly connecting with people, experiencing their everyday lives, and understanding the world from different perspectives. Instead of staying in hotels or hostels, I prefer the authentic exchange that Couchsurfing offers. It allows me to meet locals who are open to sharing their culture, traditions, and stories, and who often have insights that go beyond what any travel guide could offer.

Through Couchsurfing, I want to build connections and friendships with people I might never have met otherwise. I think every person we meet has something unique to teach us, and I love the idea of exchanging experiences and ideas. For me, Couchsurfing isn't just about finding a place to stay—it's about the human connections, the warmth, and the stories that make every journey memorable.

In return, I hope to offer my own perspective, share some laughs, and maybe cook a meal or two from my culture. Couchsurfing allows me to travel in a way that feels meaningful, and I'm here to make friends, learn, and experience the world in the most authentic way possible.

Interests

I'm deeply interested in exploring the intersections of ancient technology, history, and mythology. I love diving into these epic stories and uncovering the wisdom and scientific ideas they may hold from centuries past.

Beyond that, I’m a big fan of outdoor activities—hiking is one of my favorite ways to connect with nature, and it also gives me a chance to explore local landscapes and hidden spots. Cooking is another passion of mine, especially experimenting with new flavors and ingredients from different cultures. I enjoy visiting local markets wherever I go, as they’re perfect places to soak up the local vibe, meet people, and find unique ingredients or souvenirs.

I’m also naturally curious and open-minded, so I often find myself drawn to discussions about history, culture, and anything that lets me see the world from a new perspective.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm fascinated by stories with historical depth or philosophical insights, particularly ancient Hindu texts like the Ramayana and Mahabharata. I find them not only rich in narrative but also packed with timeless wisdom, science, and glimpses into ancient technology. I also enjoy reading books that explore mythology, history, and spirituality from different cultures, as they offer unique lenses through which to see the world.

I gravitate toward films that tell meaningful stories or explore complex characters. Movies that delve into mythology, historical events, or cultural narratives captivate me, as do those that creatively reinterpret ancient tales. I also enjoy documentaries and biopics that showcase real-life stories and perspectives from around the world.

My taste in music is diverse, with a mix of traditional and contemporary sounds. I appreciate classical music, especially compositions that are inspired by cultural themes or mythology. I also enjoy instrumental and world music that blends traditional instruments with modern interpretations, as it feels like a connection between the past and present.
