A young punjabi foodie. The travelling bug has recently caught me. I like being a traveller rather than a tourist. I like getting lost in lanes in towns I am not familiar with. I like listening to peoples stories and learn from them. I am always filled with a lot of energy and love trying out new things. Always ready for all sort of adventures.

I am professionally an interaction designer with a great interest in graphics, textiles and product design. You can check my work at www.jaichanney.com

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

You haven't visited a town if you haven't heard the stories of people of that town and couchsurfing helps you do that. It helps you share stories and learn from new people because at the end of the day we all are friends that haven't yet met.

Teach, Learn, Share

With a great interest in magic and technology, I love sharing magic tricks with people I meet. I love sharing my knowledge of technology and what impact it is putting on people.
At this very young age of 20, I have been conducting workshops on interaction design and how technology is a vital part of design.
One of the most fun things I like to teach is playing poker :)
I love sharing all the different skills I have with everyone.
