About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Work, play, love, travel

ABOUT ME

I have been living in the United States for the past 7 years where I built great friendships, met amazingly diverse and smart individuals, had terrific experiences, and got the opportunity to travel the world! I have recently returned to India as a Clinton fellow with the America India Foundation to work with a social enterprise based in Delhi. I hope to continue building great friendships, meaningful relationships, and learn from people and cultures I come across in my travels!

Small and simple things make me happy. I have discovered the joy of travel and I hope to pursue more of it. I am good at cooking Indian curries, telling interesting stories, discussing love, life, politics and everything in between!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I couchsurfed in an off the grid cabin with no electricity or running water, slightly outside Fairbanks, Alaska, when I went there to experience Aurora Borealis! I couchsurfeed on a sailboat in Portalns, Maine! My first couchsurfing experience in Puerto Rico, cemented my belief in the general goodness of strangers in this world!
