I live in Serenity Beach, Kottakuppam, Puducherry.
I am a passionate traveller, particularly into Himalayan Road Trips and Himalayan landscape Photography. I am also very fond of bikes and cars. When all these come together some Great road trips happen. my favourite among them being the road from Manali to Spiti. I take every opportunity to go out there in the nature and explore. To fuel my passions, I work from 9 to 5 as a Civil Servant.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am also on the road and always love a good hospitality.
