Overview
About Me
**CURRENTLY NOT ACCEPTING GUESTS DUE TO THE COVID PANDEMIC *
I come from a disputed Himalayan territory and have never had a sense of belonging or any feeling of nationalism. I absolutely thrive in multi-cultural environments and love Couchsurfing because it allows people from different places, with different upbringings, and different definitions of "the norm" to meet and hangout.
I love trying new things- musical instruments (though I can't play any because I always give up midway), sports (though I suck at most of them, yes you can see a pattern here), languages (learning Korean these days), and just whatever new hobby catches my fancy that week :)
These days I am living in Sweden, questioning what I want out of life, while doing a Master's in Environmental Studies and Sustainability Science.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
To see new places and meet new people. Also think it's nice to share, whether it's your house, your knowledge of a place, a skill, anything :)
Up for most things as long as I'm around good people and good food!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
The most amazing thing I have done would be an 8-day hike in the Himalayas, where I live. I thought I wouldn't be able to complete it, with my heavy-ass backpack, since I am not very fit or sporty. But I'm glad I did 😃
Teach, Learn, Share
My biggest skill is just having a good time😃 - playing board games, coming up with random spontaneous plans, and listening to others rant (also good at ranting myself) 😃
Can help with computer-related projects (I did my Bachelor's in Computer Engineering many years ago), and writing projects (worked as a ghost blogger and proofreader for a while).
Would love to learn a different language (currently learning Korean and Swedish; also super interested in learning Japanese), cooking, a musical instrument, or any skill! Also love to just hear about people, their lives, and their different experiences.

Love talking about EVERYTHING- music, movies, anime, books, nature, sustainability, borders, feminism, philosophy.
