I get mistaken for a blue-collared city entrepreneur but I'm really an artist in disguise. At the moment apart from songwriting, I host a podcast where I'm trying to open up the dialogue on sustainability to the average person and if life had other plans for me, I would have been a quasi-activist , digital nomad that goes around giving everyone hugs. ..oh and I love talking to kids about mindfulness.

Other than that, there's 3 people in my life that keep me, sane and insane at the same time, one is 9 , one is 11 and one is the mother of the two :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm just done with my studies in Växjö and networking whenever I get the chance to travel and CS seems so to keep it low on the pocket. But equally as important on the question of 'Why I'm Couchsurfing' is this platform itself is such an exciting idea that just seems so normbreaking , yet familiar from an Indian perspective and of course, what could be a more fulfillingly educational way to travel than this :)

Music, Movies, and Books

Mixed taste but never got into Jazz for some reason. I grew up listening to alternative rock tracks from 90's , some acoustic sufi but these days i like lofi and downtempo music especially tracks that are heavy on the acoustic instrumentations.

Never got into book-reading but ready plenty of Nat-Geos while growing up. Spend most of my time on research but it's always reading sections of books online these days and really been a while since I've read an entire book.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

With my head out of the window , laying on the back seat, as my dad drove down a not-so -brightly lit interstate highway, saw the most beautiful stars that night. Ofcourse, you would get pulled over if you tired that nowadays :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Play you some of my original music, some insights on why I dropped out of university 3 times, travel talk and perhaps share how it was like growing up in Dubai and studying in Canada. And always happy to cook something with the host, not a pro but can prepare some decent if you have the right spices for an Indian meal.
