I am a traveller with a cause. I love traveling that enables me to stay with the local community and help do social work of any kind, as long as it is beneficial. I studied development studies from US, and lived in Mumbai for 6 months. I worked with US organizations as liason and was placed in Kenya. I am currently studying sociology and anthropology while on the road. I love music, mountains, movies, languages and story-telling.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love understanding the culture of where I am traveling, so I don't like traveling as a tourist. I prefer to stay with the locals, and if by any chance I could help, I would love to. As a global citizen, I love also talking the language of wherever place I am volunteering at. And there is always a chance to learn and share.
