I'm a 27 year old law student and teacher from India, currently living and working in Oxford, UK. I LOVE travelling (would spend all my money on it) and my favourites so far are Vietnam, Macedonia and Morocco. But I dont like the hop from one place to another twice a day kind of travel. I really like to take my time in a city to get to know it and its local residents. I have also done a lot of volunteer work in India and abroad.

I'm a friendly, sociable and helpful person; I love telling stories from my country; and discussing law, world politics and philosophy. I absolutely love animals, and have a dog back home. As a child I used to design and manufacture earrings, and paint a lot. All that creativity died when I went into law but recently I have started writing poetry haha!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spent a month in Morocco ALL BY MYSELF! Everyone told me it'll be unsafe, and uncomfortable (since I speak neither French nor Arabic) but I had the best time ever. I volunteered with a school and travelled the entire country :D

I'm a feminist. Back in my country India, I'm the founder of a College student's feminist alliance. :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share Indian recipes, tell stories from Indian mythology, teach dance, craft, law and politics :D
