I'm an International Area Studies major from India, studying in America. I have travelled my whole life, and even lived in Vietnam for 5 years when I was younger. Most recently I studied abroad in Brussels for four months and loved it so much that I'm going to study abroad again in Montpellier this summer!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Most of the places that I have visited have been during family vacations where we stayed in hotels, did typical tourist-y things, and never really got to immerse ourselves in a city. Now that I am travelling independently, I would love to meet people who can show me what life in their city is really like! Similarly, if anyone is visiting Philadelphia, while it is unlikely that I can provide a place to stay since I live in university housing, I can definitely show you around, and more importantly, take you to the best places to eat at!

Interests

I love love love food, most of my trips revolve around the food that I can eat. I talk a lot, read a lot, and am always up for long walks.

Music, Movies, and Books

I will read anything that I can get my hands on, I've been reading since I was three! One of my favourite authors is Jodi Picoult.
I listen to music more for the lyrics than for the music itself, recently I've only been listening to French artists like Zaho, Zaz etc.
Similarly with movies, I'll either watch something with a great story, or a simple funny movie. Some of my favourite new movies include Inside Out and Avengers-The Age of Ultron.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My friends and I crashed a circus performers birthday party in Brussels, it was in a tent and everything!
I have also been sky-diving in Australia which was pretty cool.

I have a million stories that I can entertain you with, and would love to hear your stories if you'd like to share them. I can also cook, and will try to bribe you with Indian food!
