Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Simply to meet new people, for the love of it. I believe myself to be a people's person and thanks to my student exchange stint in Marseille (France) for 4 months, I've made friends from across the world (have good friends in almost every country in Schengen Europe and most countries in America with whom I'm in constant touch). I understand both the Indian & the western culture, both its intersection and the lack of it because of which I am able to relate to people from across the world alike. Looking forward to share my experiences from across the world and hear much more of amazing experiences from the friends I make via Couchsurfing! :)

Music - Anything. Literally anything. Probably Country Music & Reggae score marginally above the rest of the genres.

Books - Mostly non-fiction. Favorites include Gladwell, the Freakonomics series, Indian mythology, autobiographies, Ayn Rand, Paulo Coelho. Not the most avid reader, but love to flip the pages of a nice read once a while!
