About Me

American-Indian. I am a nomad who is currently on a year long trip across the world. I love to explore new cities and learn new cultures. I am a super extrovert who loves traveling. The best part of traveling is meeting new people and hearing their stories. I want to experience the places I visit thru the eyes of local people and want to hear their experiences. I also bring small gifts for people from the last place that I visited :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am currently on this one year backpacking trip across the globe. I have so far been to India, Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Australia and New Zealand, Dubai, Turkey, Western Europe and now Eastern Europe.

I have met some amazing people while on this trip and it was really awesome to hear their perspective on traveling, world and everything else. It made me realize that I was traveling these places but was not really absorbing the culture and ambiance of the city. Hence, I want to couchsurf and meet local people and hear their stories. I want to meet people who share the same passion as I for backpacking and stuff.

Also, I try to bring small gifts or souvenirs from the last place that I have visited.
