ABOUT ME

They say, its a small world.
No, it's a big big world and too little time to be everywhere. Even India seems so big!
But fortunately, because of the big world, there will always be places to go, things to do, new cultures, experiences, food and by the time we pop out of the world, there would be stories to tell, memories to cherish and a life to be happy about. Travelling and street food keep me alive!
I love hiking, trips to unknown places, adventure sports and a bit of photography along the way. I love the sound of the ocean, the green meadows and the overcast sky!
The more I travel, the more I want to travel. Its a vicious circle ;)

Now for the boring part, I was an electrical engineer in the past and did nothing related to engineering in the job and now hopefully wont do anything related to MBA that I am now :P

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meet new people. Hear stories from across the world. Explore new culture. New places.
And yes, not missing out on the excitement of something new!
I hope this journey will continue, there would be stories to tell and memories to remember.

Interests

Street food. Hiking. Party in the beach. Watching the night sky. Being lost in the mountains. Traveling in a train. Kayaking. Aimlessly wandering. Feeling the wind on my face. Traveling and dreaming about traveling. Reading a novel by the beach. And when not doing any of these, being Garfield ;)
Yes, I love music as it helps me sleep :) Bad at lyrics, but listen to anything melodious.
