I am on a long and tiresome journey to figure out what I really want to do. I travel because it inspires me to think and meet new people.

I earn my bread and butter by writing LOC's (line of code) for websites. Live life by teaching kids. Breathe the air by traveling. Live in solitude amidst the crowd.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on Couchsurfing as it allows me to connect with like minded people who are traveling to different places. I had randomly found a host once in Nepal and I was so impressed with their hospitality that I thought I should do the same.

Interests

My interests are extremely diverse. I love user centric design, pedagogy, teaching English, food, ethnography and the history of each and every individual place I visit.

My other interests include typography, photography, cooking and data science.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- Working with the Musahar community in Bihar for 8 months. Being part of such a diverse and marginalized community really affected me both psychologically and emotionally.

- Been teaching English and Sustainable Design for the last 5 years to underprivileged communities.

Teach, Learn, Share

Whatever I got, I can teach.

But, I am hoping it can be a two way channel. If you can teach me how to moonwalk or play the guitar or anything interest, you have my completely attention!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can cook and I have an OCD for cleanliness and helping out. I usually get up early and can make some insane coffee and breakfast! :)

We can have long and intense discussions about India and the different narrations of it's history!
