I was born in a Coastal South Indian town (Machilipatnam) and grew up in several towns and cities across India. Moved to Canada in 2018 and am a Canadian Citizen now. Moved to Montreal a few months ago and decided to enter the Couchsurfing scene finally.

I like being exposed to new cultures, traditions, lifestyles, food and everyhting that diversifies the world in a way that I havent experienced before. Longing for knowledge and wisdom, I am an explorer in every way trying to pursue anything that crosses may path.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
