Having grown in up in Bangalore (silicon valley of southwest Asia) India, having absorbed experience rich ideas and cultures.

I remember as a kid i used to wander off alone into places, jump fences, explore parks and just overall wilderness spots - this adrenaline seeking experience grew up into the need to explore the unknown, meet new people looking to have meaningful experiences and being humbled with kindness, the world had to offer.

I like discovering culture through music, movies and history, while i still believe its best lived through travel and experiences. I'm currently trying to discover new hobbies and ways to engage myself productively- so i'm always looking to pick up new things along the way.

So after hosting some great people all over the world i've decided to pack my backs and head out to see what new experiences have in host for me and share a bit of my cookie secrets and backpackers guide to the galaxy :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm a nomad at heart and a driven to make the world a better place through my actions. Couchsurfing allows me to experience the world through experience of others. A what better way to see the world through the enlightening view of someone who's had diverse experiences.

I've really been attracted by the philosophy of Inyun. A Buddhist-derived concept which suggests that every meeting between two souls is the product of countless interactions or near-interactions in their past lives,

So I use couchsurfing to be open to opportunities and meeting new people, learn about how they look at life and learn some cool things along the way!

Music, Movies, and Books

I actually like to explore some ideas within movies books and music, which in turn become the compass to the kind of media i consume.

I appreciate thrill, surrealism, fiction, strategic world view, human behaviours and leadership when picking up books - at least at this point- so i've come to appreciate the likes of murakami, malcolm gladwell, agatha christie and ruskin bond.

I appreciate experimental hype tracks - and occasionally soothing music, so 80's italian disco, SlimShady and Steve Lacy stay in my playlist rent free :)

Movies with ethereal visuals and existential themes catch my interest, contrastingly i also go back to watch comfort rom-com movies and feel good action movies like john wick get my dopamine going.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've actually managed to learn from my mistakes and learnt to be patient - along the way i've picked up being empathic, persistent and rely on my gut to steer my path towards my goal

Goals are merely milestones when you're on the journey of life

World is, but a pot of conflicting ideas and perceptions.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach people about digital marketing and social media marketing along with using design thinking to enhance how you view and perceive strategic business problems or even in your professional career.

I'm a service designer, aero-modelling enthusiast and maybe a half bad photographer ( so you could help me with that bit :P)

I'm also an aspiring DJ, so while i consume a lot of music, i've never really had the chance to curate and capitalize on my skills as an amateur Disk Jockey, so if you know stuff- i'd be happy to learn.

I'd be happy to share my cookie trade secrets for some thoughtful teachings from you, your childhood memories and what your aspire to be or working towards ( and if i can help you in any way to accomplish your goals)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can offer my professional and my two cents on how i perceive things and maybe some cooking tips and artist recommendations along the way.

I also like coffee so maybe i can bring some good italian caffe from italy for you and treat you to some great moka pot coffee ( yeah- i carry my moka pot everywhere i travel, atp its more like an extended part of my body :P )
