About Me

I grew up in a small time in Northern India but for the past 12 years, I have been living in Delhi where I received my college education. My career began in Delhi and this is where I also found my life partner. I have traveled in India more than I have traveled to other countries. But for the past 5-6 years, have been occasionally travelling out of India. I work with a human rights organisation in their media and communications centre here in Delhi. Also fond of dogs and puppies, coffee, wine and a huge crush on Viggo Mortensen.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have been an introvert and a very socially awkward person all my life. It is only in the past 3 years, I began making efforts to work on my social anxiety issue. So far I have been successful and I have had great times meeting new people and learning about their lives and culture. I hope to expand my worldview by meeting and staying with new people through Couchsurfing.

Music, Movies, and Books

1. Very tough to pick one kind of music but mostly classic rock (70s and 80s).
2. I live and breathe movies of all kinds but this year I became obsessed with all Viggo Mortensen films. In Indian cinema, I have high appreciation for Anurag Kashyap's films. I have recently begun to explore French and Spanish language films.
3. Books - give me any fiction.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Drove from Delhi to Bhutan with 3 of my friends back in 2013. Really proud of self for overcoming all kinds of fears during that long drive.
