I'm Aishwary from Ranchi, India. I just finished high school and decided to take some time to explore the world before diving into college. I'm a filmmaker and I absolutely love capturing moments through photography. There's something magical about freezing a moment in time and telling a story through visuals.

Currently, I'm working as a 3D artist, designer, and editor. My friend and I have started our own company where we get to bring our creative visions to life. It's been an amazing journey so far, and I'm excited to see where it takes us.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm here to meet new people, experience different cultures, and share stories. Traveling isn't just about the places you see, but the people you meet along the way. I haven't traveled a lot yet, and I think the best way to do it is by knowing people and exploring the world through their eyes. I'm looking forward to connecting with fellow travelers and locals, learning from their experiences, and maybe sharing a few of my own.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music is my lifeblood! From the classic rock of KISS to the poetic genius of Kendrick Lamar, and the reggaeton beats of Bad Bunny to the soulful melodies of Arijit Singh, my playlist is a global journey. I also can't get enough of A.R. Rahman's mesmerizing compositions. I don't have a single favorite song because there are just too many to fit here. Tracks like "Rock and Roll All Nite," "Alright," "Dakiti," "Tum Hi Ho," and "Kun Faya Kun" are just a few examples.

As an aspiring filmmaker, I dive deep into cinema. I mainly watch films from India and the US, but lately, I've been exploring European and Iranian cinema. Some of my favorites include "Pather Panchali" by Satyajit Ray, "Pulp Fiction" by Quentin Tarantino, "Amélie" by Jean-Pierre Jeunet, and "A Separation" by Asghar Farhadi. These films inspire me and broaden my perspective on storytelling.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I haven't done that amazing thing yet, but I'm hopeful that I'll find it during these trips. Each journey is a step closer to discovering something truly extraordinary, and I'm excited to see what amazing experiences await me along the way.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm happy to share whatever knowledge I have in filmmaking, photography, and 3D art and design. I'm passionate about these subjects and can offer tips and insights to anyone interested. At the same time, I'm eager to learn about different cultures, languages, and local traditions. The whole point of me being here is to exchange experiences and knowledge, learning from each other and growing together.

What I Can Share with Hosts

If you're into visual arts, we can have some great discussions about filmmaking and photography, and maybe even collaborate on a project. I can share insights and tricks of the trade in 3D art and design, and possibly help you out with your own projects. I'd love to exchange travel experiences and tips, sharing stories from my journey. Above all, I'm easy-going, friendly, and always up for a good conversation, making for enjoyable and enriching company.
