Overview
About Me
My name is Adi and I am from Chandigarh, India. I graduated from Mahindra United World College of India, Pune in 2015. Currently, I live in Bennington, VT, USA. I like to get to know different places through the people who live and love there. Things I have a genuine appreciation for: an honest conversation over a cup of tea/coffee; the ability to be vulnerable; cats! These days I'm trying to not take myself too seriously and learning how to let go.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
1. I believe that the best way to learn about the historical and cultural context of a place is through locals.
2. For someone like me who loves getting to know new people, Couchsurfing is a great platform to make friends and connections around the globe.
