About Me

Hi, I am a Traveller, a photographer and Dog lover. After i quit my corporate job last year, i have been working as a freelance photographer and also running my travel startup. I have moved to Goa recently from Mumbai with my dog and am always looking for new places to explore. Travelling for me is a great way to experience different lifestyles, cultures, make new friends.

PHILOSOPHY

I am quite open minded and easy going. I like to take life as it comes and focus on the positives.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I know what it is to be in a strange city alone and its always such a pleasure to have a nice home to stay in and meet amazing local people.

Interests

I love watching independent cinema from around the world. Its a great way to connect with a different culture than your own when you are not travelling. I also read a lot of books by varied authors including Khalil Gibran, Roald Dahl, Murakami etc.
I cook and experiment with food - indian as well as cusines from around the world
