About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To experience, explore & enjoy every culture in the world
I did a motorcycle trip across Europe, US all thanks to this amazing generous community. I have made sure to give back & have had many travellers through CS & otherwise (by word of mouth) stay with me.
My effort always is to share the knowledge I have & learn more from others.
It makes me really happy to provide almost a home like environment for my guests.

ABOUT ME

Happiness is not good enough for me...I demand EUPHORIA!! :D
I believe in living life to the best that you can. Loving and respecting everyone around. Smiling and making others smile. The simplest things in life are the most important :) Learn to live in the moment.

PHILOSOPHY

Live and Let Live...Period! Think & explore...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I signed up for CS & my perspective towards travelling changed.
From driving-around cow-loving English girls across Delhi's mad roads to shopping for a sweet german's wife... Discussing politics with an Italian to rummaging through a flea market with a french. I'm happy to have done it all :) And much more...
I'm glad to have been able to help travellers through their Indian experiences, bargaining sprees, hotel fiascos, Delhi-bellies & shared so many beautiful stories

Hope I'm able to travel more & be hosted as well :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Slept on the cold white sand on the banks of river ganges on New Year's eve and star gazed all night.

Rode through a snow storm at the Chang La pass in Ladakh region with no rear brakes in the bike (Bikers know that that is a sure recipe to hell) It was scary and adventurous. But given the circumstances, we had no other choice. It looked beautiful and we almost forgot that we were freezing

Wild horses and yaks grazing in the beautiful meadows in the Leh - pangong region. Was just mesmerising.

Saw a forest full of fireflies in South of India. They looked like a fire cracker show...very like a scene out of avatar :)

Saw dolphins playing in the sea near Gokarna.

Watched an eagle hunt a snake about a foot away from me.

Went diving in the Andaman islands...amazing experience.

Did a Bike-ride across almost the entire west-south coast of India... Enriching experience.

Teach, Learn, Share

Always bargain at flea markets and with tuk-tuk drivers in India and Thailand. Better idea would be to ask a local person passing by to help you get the tuk-tuk or tell you the average cost that can be charged.
DO NOT book hotels in advance in Indonesia or Malaysia or even India. If you need to book for your Visa, block the ones you can cancel if needed. There are always cheaper & better places available once you are there.
I really love to learn new languages & cultures. I am always keen to share stories & travel experiences.
