I am an International Grandmaster in Chess from India. I like to play tournaments around the world, especially around europe.

I've travelled regularly since I was a teenager, but I started to do solo travel only recently. I realized that it makes no sense to travel so much and visit so many places if I don't connect with the wonderful people in their places.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
