About Me

Currently working as a high-school psychology teacher and counselor, I am well read, and obsessive traveller and enjoy spending time outdoors. I love painting, singing, baking among many other things. I am a PADI certified Open water diver and thoroughly enjoy the transcendent experience of SCUBA diving. I cycle, hike, run and love adventure sports.
I am a sensitive person, and highly compassionate towards animals, the world and the environment.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Im new here, but feel like this is such a great way to meet new people, learn from them, and experience new places the local way!

Completely agree with the saying, "keep your heart and door open to people, you never know when an angel might visit you in human disguise"

At the moment, I live in a residential school campus and that may limit me hosting other people, but I'll see what I can do when you come to India. Maybe you can come live in my school, volunteer and teach a thing or two about what you know and your culture to our diverse student body! :)

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy different kinds of music... across the spectrum- from Jazz to rock to pop to RnB. Its so mood dependent.

Currently intrigued by Toni Morrison.
