About Me

Hello :-).
2019 a big change in Life. 😊 I moved from India to Toulouse, France :-)

Currently trying to settle down, I am really happy as I can go out for running 🏃near Canal DU midi anytime and walk to city centre which is just short walk to explore resturants, museums, wine, food, croissant and culture of France.
Moving to a new country is like a reset of life. You can be anyone you want, learn and see things with different perspectives every moment, life's small challenges look so big sometime and small little things you see with amazed eyes. I am feeling more aware, excited, frustrated and at same time amazed with my life as my soul and brain are trying to settle down.
In the midst of all this I am ready and really excited to meet people and get immersed in this beautiful culture and city.

My weekdays are busy with work and dance. I can accompany you in the evenings to share cuisine, wine and stories only if you want.

I enjoy activities like running, meditation and trekking.
I don't have a car but I find ways to join a group to go for trekking in Pyrenees.

I am not not foody but I find pleasure in tasting authentic food of that place which is made and shared with love. I am both carefree and shy depends on the energy I feel.

I believe in philosophy of "Live and Let Live".

I am more of a listener, but recently during my first solo trip to Kerala, I realized I do have a talkative side of me.

I started hosting CS in 2018 with my ex husband and it has been a real blessing.

I have a small space, homemade Indian food, books, meditation, India and Indian music, dance, culture, language, LOT OF QUESTIONS (yes i am curious being) and if possible may be some shopping in weekends to share with you. :-).

Thanks for reading and giving your time.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Every human being has a story n experience to share, which I find really inspiring and interesting to listen.

I believe travel is one way to exlpore the world, but when you allow someone to share your space, you share your world with them, that's more than travel experience.
