I am a college teacher. Love to research (aquatic ecology), & love to travel; but traveled mostly within India, my country. India is like a continent and you get to see and learn many different things. I am not finished with India..... that is simply not possible........ India is huge......

Outside India: Once in 2001, I went to Nepal (Dhulabari) with my Ph D guide for some shopping. Indians do not need any permit to go to Nepal, nor any passport checks.... so it was as if, I was moving within India.......

In 2014, I went to Turkey in a conference in Trabzon and was amazed with the experience. Turkey is really a wonderful country, that I have visited 4 times (including 2 transit stoppages in Istanbul with transit visas) & I would love to visit again. So is Serbia, where I went in 2015. From then on, it has been Poland, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Austria, Germany, Italy, Slovenia, Hongary (and Switzerland: Lucerne and Zurich in transit). Now, I feel that I am more enthusiastic to travel and visit new places- and would love to share my experiences with anyone coming to India, particularly eastern India, and be good guide for them.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

I love to travel; I am more enthusiastic to travel abroad and visit new places- I know, I am starting late but really hopeful to meet new people abroad and would love to share my experiences with anyone coming to India, particularly eastern India, and be good guide for them.

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

My CS host in Uzice asked me to take a class on Indian culture, heritage, Hindu philosoply and Yoga in her Yoga school; now I am basically a Zoology teacher..... but I wanted to please my host- so I said yes, and it turned out to be excellent...... (see photo)........... teaching, singing, sharing India to others was so wonderful, and the response was really amazing.... ...
