About Me

Usually busy doing cliche things like building a startup, going to art galleries/museums, catching up with One Piece and curating top-tier memes.

I used to be a professional dancer and I trained in Bollywood and hip hop dance forms. I am a state-level badminton player and I like fitness in general. I love to meet new people, hear their stories and share some of my own.

As a Host:
I'm conveniently placed 10min away from the Girgaum beach in South Mumbai and I know some of the best places to have local food here. I like to host travellers when I can, but even if I can't, I'd be happy to connect and help you out with your travel. Always open to meet and discuss culture, history, society and philosophy.
If I'm free we could go for an evening heritage walk around Fort area of Mumbai and I can take you through the oldest streets of Mumbai and talk about how it evolved.

Outside of India I've lived in Oxford (UK) and Berlin (Germany). I've studied economics and I'm a recipient of The Keating Scholarship from Oxford University.
I'm currently learning German (A1). Sprichst du deutch?

My Best Travel Story: When I solo backpacked Sikkim for 30 days when I was 20 years old.

Favourite Travel Quotes:
"Be a traveller, not a tourist."
"Everybody should travel, but traveling is not for everyone"

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The one best thing would surely be when I fought my Aquaphobia and successfully scuba-dived. It was a life changing experience for me.

Other amazing things I have done are a 1000km 11day road trip on my motorbike in my state.
Solo backpacked The state of Sikkim and Kingdom of Bhutan for a month.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to dance hip hop and bollywood.
The best thing that I have to share are my memories.... lots of them!
