I am an adventurous hedonist and I love travelling around, especially to certain regions that have historical relevance and exotic cultures.

A climber, mountaineer, athlete and many more. So if there's any peak or mountain range that pulls me, I start saving up and plan an expedition.

People find me easy to get comfortable around for the way I am. Being around people from all over the world throughout my life made my travelling convenient and hanging out with people fun.

I am an engineer and working myself into a sweet career.
Also a seeker on the yogic path. I've been touched by spirituality.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am here to meet people who love life. Like me. I want to hang around and meet people who have an unquenchable zeal for the experience of the world we live in.

In the movie K-Pax, the main character tells about the planet he's from. Children are not raised by their parents but by the entire society. The people never stay with one family even when they grow up. I liked the concept of that. Everyone is family in a sense.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Solo trekked through the lower Himalayan range in Bhutan during the peak winter of 2016, when the tigers occupied that region. Stayed with a monk for 2 days at 4100m in a wooden cabin. No common language, yet we became friends. Also watched the king of Bhutan play football at the national stadium.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: From my experience in high altitude Himalayas, I can teach some fundamental survival skills and backpacking tips.
I know 4 Indian languages and I can help learn some phrases if interested.
I can teach some basic yoga and breathing exercises.

Learn: Almost anything. There are a lot of things I want to learn and the list is endless. All I know is, that I don't even know about some things but I am sure to jump right in.

Share: Apart from offering myself, I can share a lot of my travel stories and life experiences from India. I'm from the land of many cultures, languages, people and a billion Gods, a surreal life.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Apart from my stories and experiences, I would be glad to do some chores and be a part of the regular life at your place.

Also have a fantasy to spend a good time sipping on a drink and having good food on a cold evening by a wooden cabin in the mountains (or any cozy place actually).

I like to trade a piece of me for a piece of something or someone to carry with me all through my life.
