Travel bug hit me late, but hey at least it did.
This phase of my life is to be dedicated to exploring the Himalayas🏔️ and the foothills in India.

Some of my most memorable journeys have been Ladakh, Bhutan, Vietnam, Andaman Islands, Munich and Rajasthan.

Couchsurfed once with a friend in Darjeeling and it was overwhelming - hadn't expected such a great experience. Was a member here since much before but had never got a chance to give it a spin. Glad I finally did. The community is full of great people and there's such a great vibe here. So looking forward to 'belonging' here. No references yet, but hey just getting started!

Heading a digital agency in Mumbai while I'm not traveling or thinking about traveling.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on couchsurfing to meet people from different backgrounds and cultures.

Live with my family so not possible for me to host for now - maybe once I get my own place. But would love to contribute to the community in any way possible. Can help you with Mumbai/India and everywhere else I've been.

Teach, Learn, Share

Would love to share information on getting around India. Also if anyone is up for road trips can provide some first hand experiences around the country.

If you are in/coming to Mumbai, would love to meet and show you around the area I grew up - Bandra, an urban jungle with some old time quirks. Also, I know all the street art in the area. A ‍♀️ ride around could be fun!

What I Can Share with Hosts

A great time with stories from Bandra - a quaint Mumbai suburb where I grew up, to its gentrification and eventual mass commercialization. Also I love to eat so the feast is on me 🙃
