About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I want to become fluent in French, meet people from every country possible, travel widely, be kind, learn how to cook Indian food and become a doctor.

ABOUT ME

I'm an outgoing person who loves travelling and meeting people more than anything else. I'm curious about other cultures and languages and I would love to make friends from every country in the world. I am in my second year of studying Medicine in the beautiful Glasgow. I took a gap year where I lived in France and also travelled in Italy and India. It is now one of my dreams to live in India. This summer I did a big trip to South East Asia and it was absolutely incredible. I love open-minded people, people that ask interesting questions, people that answer questions well, people who can teach me things. I am also in love with food, and I would love to perfect my cooking of cuisines like Indian and Greek. My ideal day is one spent sat by a river in the sunshine with a bunch of international people I just met, eating cheese and bread and drinking red wine.

PHILOSOPHY

Don't judge people as soon as you meet them, some people that you dismiss immediately can turn out to be the loveliest people you will ever meet. Try new things whenever you can. Tell the people you love that you love them. Travel broadly, and often.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have already met so many amazing people through couchsurfing, and they have taught me so much and I have made some friends for life. I hope to keep meeting similar people, I have been so lucky. I'm still amazed at the generosity of my hosts and I hope to be able to host in the future.

Interests

I love cooking and eating amazing food, languages, exploring new places, meeting new people, science (mostly biology, anatomy etc.), going out to bars and clubs, and hiking. I also love music, but sadly I have no musical talent whatsoever :D I like discussing politics sometimes, and trading funny stories.

Music, Movies, and Books

I am not very picky when it comes to movies and music, but it's very rare that I find a book that I like. I'd love suggestions! It would be impossible to choose my favourite music (my taste ranges from soul to house to rock to jazz).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

There are a lot of experiences I could write about, but probably the most amazing (for me) was getting the chance to watch open-heart surgery during my work experience. It was incredible! Also, I will never forget spending the night in the Sahara desert and seeing all the millions of stars in the Milky Way. And my time spent living in Paris will always be one of the best times of my life. I learnt so much about myself, about France, the French, and Paris is the most beautiful city in the whole world. I watched the sunrise over the river Ganga in Varanasi and it left me speechless. Most recently I went snorkelling in the perhentians and swam with turtles.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you English and French, and cook for you. Despite the stereotypes, English people can actually cook some things! I can share my experiences and I would love to hear about yours :) I can also share some of the interesting things I have learnt from my studies in Medicine.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share conversation, I can cook, and I will always clean up after myself. And you will always be welcome in the UK!
