About Me
I enjoy meeting travellers from all over. I love talking about how to travel frugally. I travel frequently myself. I'm in my early 20's and enjoy philosophical conversations, exploring urban life and weekend outings in nature - Whatever the day calls for!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I volunteered in a social entrepreneurship program with Caritas Internationalis in Mauritius, Africa. My decision to volunteer was based on my motivation to create positive outcomes for people and allowed me to learn delivery of business in a socially responsible way. As a part of an internationally diverse team, I
co-developed a three-phase microfinance project for women’s economic empowerment. This included developing a business education program, raising funds equivalent to $1000 (USD) and providing microloans to women entrepreneurs in rural Mauritius. The project was successful in helping three women in a rural village to set up their own businesses. This is one of my proudest personal achievements and most rewarding experiences.
Teach, Learn, Share
Teach: I'm willing to share any knowledge I posses. Just ask for it.
Learn: I believe everybody has a story to share from the perspective of their different experiences and there is something new, one can learn from everybody. (P.S: If you know photography, I would probably love you!)
Share: Sharing is for commies and hippies!
What I Can Share with Hosts
I can also give you good advice on travelling through Australia, Canada, Colombia, Mauritius, South East Asia and India (and other countries, I have visited). Well, at least stuff that's worked for me.
I'm here to share friendship, stories, experience and passion for travelling.
