Explore the world before you die

ABOUT ME

Hello there! I'm a technical person with a brain geared towards business and innovation, which I like to think of as being an imagineer. I'm good with sarcasm, absolutely love pizza, and have a passion for travelling, photography and dancing.

At my core, I'm a wanderer, traveling as part of my job in aviation which keeps me moving most of the time. Each month finds me in different corners of the globe for about 15-20 days. I've explored 27 of the 28 states in India and have ventured to 23 out of the 295 countries on my list. Traveling is about the people as much as the places for me.

I love meeting locals, seeing their day-to-day life, and getting the feel of the place through their eyes. This experience enriches my understanding and appreciation of diverse cultures. As a vegetarian, I'm always on the hunt for the best local vegetarian or vegan dishes that cater to my diet, and I enjoy both quiet nature spots and lively party scenes depending on my mood.

INTERESTS

From teaching salsa basics to discovering peaceful natural retreats or energetic local markets, my interests are broad and varied. I'm continuously drawn to the rich variety of experiences that traveling offers.

WHY I'M ON COUCHSURFING

I'm here to meet people who are as excited about travel as I am. Couchsurfing gives me the chance to share stories, learn from others, and see places in a unique light. If you want tips on where to find good vegetarian food, the best spots for salsa dancing, or if you just want to chat over pizza, I'd love to connect!
