I’m a 25-year-old lawyer from Delhi with a passion for travel and a firm belief that work and adventure can go hand in hand. By day, I’m immersed in the world of law, navigating through briefcases filled with case files. But once the sun sets, I swap my suit for a backpack, eager to explore new cultures, cuisines, and corners of the world. My love for street food is profound; I consider it a universal language of love and connection. My approach to traveling combines careful planning with the thrill of spontaneous discovery. Whether it’s engaging in a deep discussion about constitutional law or jumping into a friendly cricket match in a local park, I’m all about embracing the richness of life’s experiences.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm Couchsurfing because I deeply value the unique and personal connections that travel brings. My passion for exploring new cultures and places goes beyond just seeing the sights; I seek to immerse myself in the local way of life. Sharing stories, meals, and experiences with locals and fellow travelers enriches my journeys and expands my understanding of the world. Couchsurfing offers the perfect platform for these authentic exchanges, allowing me to meet fascinating people and form lasting friendships. It's about being part of a community that celebrates diversity, openness, and the joy of discovery.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'd like to share a bit about my interests. Music-wise, my tastes vary; I enjoy everything from Sufi rock, reminiscent of bands like Junoon, to classic rock, and even the latest hits you might hear. Regarding movies, I'm all about films that whisk me away to another world. "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty" sparked my love for travel, while "The Darjeeling Limited" perfectly captures the frenetic yet beautiful essence of traveling by train in India.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once embarked on a wild adventure to Kazakhstan with strangers I met online. With just a backpack and a thrill for the unknown, I landed in Almaty, meeting my travel companions for the first time at the airport. Our journey took us through the breathtaking landscapes of Charyn Canyon, often called the Grand Canyon's smaller sibling.

I also recently took a solo trip to Moscow and St. Petersburg, which was thrilling. These cities' rich history, stunning architecture, and vibrant culture left me in awe. Navigating through the bustling streets of Moscow and the artistic alleys of St. Petersburg on my own was an empowering experience. This solo journey allowed me to immerse myself in the fascinating Russian culture and helped me discover a new level of independence and confidence within myself. It was an exhilarating experience that I'll cherish forever.

This trip taught me that the most amazing experiences sometimes come from a leap of faith. It showed me that strangers can become family in the span of a two-week adventure and that there's a whole world of wonders waiting beyond the familiar.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm excited to share my skills in chai-making, basic Hindi phrases, and cricket. I'm eager to learn new languages and local recipes and discover hidden gems in your city. I also enjoy sharing legal stories and expanding my global music playlist. Let's exchange and create unforgettable experiences!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Although I'm primarily trained as a lawyer, my interests and skills extend far beyond the confines of legal texts and courtrooms. I'm passionate about cultural exchange, particularly through language and music. I'm fluent in Hindi and always eager to learn new phrases in other languages, hoping to deepen my understanding of different cultures. Additionally, I have a soft spot for discovering and sharing hidden musical gems from around the world, especially those from the Indian music scene. This passion for cultural exchange, combined with my professional background, shapes my unique approach to interacting with people from diverse backgrounds, fostering a richer, more inclusive dialogue wherever I go.
