Mission:
Travel the world and show that if backpacker from a third world country with limited financial means and bad currency exchange rates (can be such a buzz-kill) can quench his wanderlust, so can everyone. All that matters is will, a little bit of planning and a lot of open mindedness.

About Me:
I am from India, the land where colour, culture and diversity is an every day experience. I would like to believe that I am well read, cultured and educated. I am on my path to become well - traveled. I am new to the world of backpacking. I was stung by the travel bug recently and I have been taking efforts to travel as much as my life / lifestyle would allow.

Otherwise, I am a happy, enthusiastic person who loves to meet new people and have new experiences. I would buy you coffee and talk all day if it is about India or Life philosophy. I would get you the coffee, even otherwise :D

I have met some amazing people through CS. I am staying put in Bangalore at the moment with no travel plans for the near future. But, whats the alternative to that? Hosting the world of travellers. So, feel free to ping me if you are looking to be hosted in Bangalore.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I always like to experience a place through the eyes of the locals. The experience one gets that way is a lot more authentic and memorable.

Also, I love meeting new people and and having new experiences. For me, travelling is more about the people you meet and the stories you share than the places you visit.

Its incredible that couch surfing enables travellers to meet people living real lives.
