Passionate about exploring new cultures and meeting people from all over the world.

Over the last few years I have been immersed in learning and practicing the ancient martial art of Kalaripayattu. Lately, I’ve also begun teaching.

I enjoy hiking, cycling, kayaking, art, culture, nature. I love trying out local dishes and learning about different culinary traditions.

As a host, I'll do my best to make you feel at home and show you around my city.

As a guest, I'm respectful, tidy, and always up for a good chat.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Living in a rural village in the Kutch desert with a local family in their traditional dwelling, known as Bhunga. This unique type of mud house is built in a circular shape with a thatched roof and is designed to withstand the harsh weather conditions of the region.
I had the privilege of cooking with them and learning about their daily routines.

Vipassana.

Some adventures I’ve experienced: Paragliding, river rafting, parasailing, kayaking, freediving
