About Me

Love travel, photography, coffee, art, music, coffee, learning about other people's lives, stories, coffee, food, seeing my friends live and thrive.
Currently exploring India, loving it, and working on plans to travel and stay indefinitely.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Money is a finite resource for me definitely, but also I want to learn from the source and get to feel as many real sides to India as I can, and how else is more authentic than to stay with local people and hear about their lives?

I also am driven to share
