Teach, Learn, Share

Basic Travel tips for India - esp safety tips for ladies for India, can teach Hindi basics, swap stories, interesting conversations, take you around to sample good Indian food (or your preferred cuisine :) )...

happy to share experiences, chat and accompany for food and drinks if free.

Would love to learn abt interesting places when I visit; food is definitely an important part of sampling a new place for me :) while I'm open to most meats, maybe I wont go as far as the 'Bizarre food' show host Andrew Zimmern ;)

I like relaxed plans than the packed-to-the-core days filled with 10,000 places in a day that exhaust you. Would love company for roller coaster rides (yes, my inner child is alive n kicking! 😜) or hang out over movies or food/drinks. Not so much into camping/roughing it out after having got used to some level of creature comforts 😄

What I Can Share with Hosts

Umm... not yet sure what I'm supposed to fill in here....

But hoping to share and enjoy discussions about common experiences, interests and have a fun time; I enjoy good sense of humor :)
