Traveller by day, reliability engineer on other, non-vacation days.

I love to travel and I'm all about the budget. I work full time so I can only take a certain amount of days off but I try to travel as much as I can, most trips lasting 2-3 weeks and I want to travel more. So. Much. More.

I am very active on Instagram and love to document my travels. Most of them are light-hearted and you'd probably see a bunch of jokes. I have yet to travel to an off-the-beaten-path destination but I'm getting there :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I started out with hotels, moved onto hostels and I'm now exploring Couchsurfing as it's about as low-budget as I can get. I had a great experience couchsurfing on my last trip to Europe.

Plus, being from India, the currency I earn in is not exactly top-notch so this is really helpful when travelling in an expensive destination.

I also love to interact with the locals and learn about their way of life, their food, maybe even a bit of the language they speak. It gives my travels a lot more meaning and makes it fulfilling.

Swimming with bioluminescent plankton on a new moon night, in a pitch-black spot, off the shore of Koh Rong island in Cambodia.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: Cooking! I love to cook and I'm happy to teach you what I know
Learn: A new language, dancing, history and customs of a place, traditions... anything, really!
Share: My travel stories, food, jokes

What I Can Share with Hosts

Indian food! If you have the ingredients, I will prepare a meal for you and teach you a couple of recipes as well (assuming you like Indian food). I'm a great cook!

I also love to cook other cuisines (Asian, Middle-Eastern, Italian mainly) so if Indian food isn't your jam, tell me what you like and I'll try to whip something up :)
