About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Go round the world on my motorcycle. Currently doing first leg of the ride in Europe and North America.

ABOUT ME

I am a freelance photographer. Based in New Delhi, India. Though I am travelling half of the year. I am happy to help and take people around Delhi when I am home. I am a motorcyclist by hobby and ride a lot around India. I love backpacking as well. I have travelled around India, Nepal & Bhutan solo and that is when I realised what I want to do in life.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe in no religion but I respect them all and feel that all religions preach good things but its our interpretation that is wrong. Life is too short to be living at one place for too long. So I travel and once I figure out the world I will probably stay at home and retire from travelling. haha.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Its a life changing experience to meet people from different countries and different cultures. After meeting many travellers and locals in many countries I realised how similar humans are all around the world. Now I am just enhancing that experience.

Interests

Motorcycling, Photography, Food, Meeting new people, Learning about different ways of life and cultures.

Music, Movies, and Books

Animal Farm, Into Thin Air, Into The Wild, Zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance, Jupiter's travels,The Climb, Touching my father's soul, Left for dead, Story of my experiments with truth

Historical and real life movies like Schindler's list, Gandhi, The pianist etc. And of course all the Marvel Superhero movies. :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Currently I am riding through Europe and North America on my solo round the world motorcycle ride.

Rode to the top of the world in Ladakh to the highest motorable pass at 18000 feet. Been there 4 times. Haha.

A solo 9000 Km Monsoon ride from top to bottom of India.

Scuba diving certification. Dived to 20m in Thailand.

Ran naked through the restaurant on a ship after getting locked out of sauna. (Yes it was in Europe and thats why I am not in Jail)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can take you around and advice on things in see in Delhi and around India. I have travelled extensively in India and to lot of remote places in India where tourists hardly go. I can share my knowledge about India and also other places I have visited. I can also offer amazing homemade Indian food.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can cook some good Indian food for my hosts. If you want some pictures of your family I'll be more than happy to do it. I am a destination wedding photographer by profession so I am happy to click photos.
