I'm a guy who has always been fascinated by nature! I thoroughly enjoy being in the presence of trees and critters, whether in a city park or in a forest. At the same time, I'm also share a passion for learning about the history and cultures of different regions in the world. Having lived in India for most of my life, I've been fortunate to indulge in a rich experience of both worlds, and I hope to continue this pursuit throughout my travels in the future!

I also enjoy cooking in my spare time and I'm always open to trying new dishes when I get the chance. I would describe myself as having calm persona and someone who cherishes meaningful conversations and bonds with people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm curious about the potential of experiencing destinations around the world through the eyes and lives of other people. While I have always enjoyed traveling, I've felt that not learning about new perspectives of travels from others on their unique journeys is missing out on something interesting.

With CS, I hope to learn more through my travels than I could ever imagine before. In addition, I look forward to being able to share fun memories with fellow travellers and make things that much more special.

What I Can Share with Hosts

The idea of sharing a glimpse into the cuisine I grew up with excites me! I'm also innately curious about all things food-related from any region of the world, and my passion for cooking is one that I would be happy to share with my hosts.

I'm also extremely comfortable in natural spaces and around different organisms and would be happy to share my knowledge of the natural world through nature walks.

I'm inquisitive and enjoy conversing with people about a broad array of subjects. I'm also open to partaking in other fun activities and suggestions that hosts/ fellow travellers may have.
