About Me

I am a self employed Education Consultant having offices in India and Canada. I travel for about two to three months every year. This year I traveled to four countries so far. Canada, USA, New Zealand (on going) and bits of Australia. Also going to travel to China and Hong Kong very soon. Till last two years I was caught up in achieving my financial goals but since then the first thin on my mind has always been traveling.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am an extrovert. I love meeting new people and love the buzz of connecting and finding random things to talk about with people I've just met.
Loving exploring NZ at the moment and since I'm almost always traveling alone I'm really looking forward to making new friends all over the country so it's not too lonely :)

Music, Movies, and Books

I survive on music..My preferences change with the seasons..At the moment I am loving and discovering different genres of music I haven't heard before and also alternative rock, lounge and everything with beautiful vocals, but I also love instrumentals.

Love movies, mostly action and comedy.....a big fan of Game of Thrones

I had owned a library at one point of time ...Just finished Paul Midler's "Poorly Made in China" since I am visiting Guangzhou in next two weeks. Now started with Douglas Adam's "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy"

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have started traveling and made it my number one priority.

Since past 26 years I have lived life as per the dictum. I have worked, grown, personally and financially, and have a decent lifestyle back home. The only thing that remained was to explore the world. So since past two years I have been traveling for 2-3 months a year and exploring various countries and have met amazing people.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am always up for learning the famous words, greetings of new languages. I have a lot of travel and life stories to share and would love to listen to the stories of others whom I meet along the way.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A lot of jokes and good banter. Teach you how to prepare the "Indian chai" and share my life experiences living in India - the land of a billion people vs. living anywhere else (except China...they have a lot of people too)

Countries I’ve Visited

Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Singapore, Thailand, United Arab Emirates, United States

Countries I’ve Lived In

Canada, India
