Hello Couchsurfing Community!

Presently based in Cork, Ireland. Prior to the Pandemic I hosted several people in my home in Mumbai. I like to actively engage in local meet ups. Recently, I have joined Internations as well. I have a keen interest in exploring diverse cuisines, traditions, and daily life practices of various cultures. I look forward to meeting you.

About Me:

An Individual with a Unique name, Ambivert, foodie, Shiva devotee, socially active, open minded and flexible. Accidentally an IT professional and an aspiring entrepreneur.

My one dream to travel the world as much as I can. Explore every places, culture and food. Life is too short to live at one place.

Kindly acknowledge a reference, as I value recognizing someone's time by leaving a feedback :).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- Hiked the highest Peak of Ireland. They say if you can hike in Irish weather you can pretty much hike anywhere in the world ;)
- Swam in extreme Cold Water in Glendalough lake.
- I can easily open a bottle of beer with my teeth.

Amazing incident:

- On one of the treks, I came across a snake with jet black shiny skin and the only thing that tricked my mind was to run.
(It's a long story ahead...Ask me if we come across ;)

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach - Indian culture, traditions that are followed and the contemporary lifestyle exploring here.
- tips on how to Bargain in India.

Learn - I like to learn the languages and explore the regional food of the places I travel.

Share - A flexible and empathetic person. If you're traveling with me, no matter what I have, I'll share it with you – even if it's just my experiences and travel stories.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My traveling experience and any piece of help. Also, the history of Mumbai. After all I have been born and brought here for over 25 years until I moved to Ireland!

Moreover I live in the heart of Mumbai, so the airport and traveling and exploring to most parts of Mumbai is very convenient.

You'll learn to live in Mumbai from a different perspective only if you're ready to adapt the lifestyle. Some questions to ponder upon - How things evolved in Mumbai? In-spite of having so much potential what more can be done. Various other topics and interesting discussion would happen.

PS - 'History' and 'Politics' are a few topics!

What I can share with surfers
(Presently based in Cork, Ireland) : A room to sleep with all the basic amenities.

I am good cook, however since I work Monday-Fridays I have a tight schedule to follow and won't be able to host on a weekday but can show you the most mouth watering local food eateries!

My Couchsurfing Experience:

Initially, I was quite selective due to an unpleasant experience in hosting and meeting people, but over the years I have overcome this and become much more confident and open to engaging with the Couchsurfing Community.

I look forward to hosting or meeting you if your timeline aligns with my availability.

Happy Traveling,
Shridhyey
