Hey there, thanks for reading my profile!

For guests: My house is located in the heart of the city and I live here with my family. Please read the house rules before sending your request. Looking forward to meet and host you, welcome in advance :)

For hosts: I’m a Marketing professional at Cognizant and a Professor at University of Mumbai who likes to travel around the world, explore local cuisine and meet new people.

I love to cook, and can prepare authentic Indian cuisine for you (not the tasteless stuff you’ll find in an “Indian restaurant”).

I love hiking expeditions and have trekked across Western ghats and Himlayas in India, Nepal, Kazakhstan, Jordan, Australia, New Zealand and Norway.

I’ve recently learnt how to hitchhike and i do that as much as possible.

I want to understand your culture better and learn from you. Will also share my experiences and travel adventures, lets have a cultural exchange :) Also, please allow me to host you whenever you’re in India.
