PREFERENCE : I am willing to help and provide a place to travellers (foreign to our country India) and recieve the same when I travel. I am NOT looking to socialise through CS. Please don't message for meet-ups.

I am Keerthana. I have been living and working in Bangalore for a while now.

I consider myself to be open minded. I am a mechanical engineer by profession and passion :)
More of a countryside/nature person than a city traveller. Travelling through public/minimalist transport especially gives me a thrill.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Why not? It's a great place to go to experience the local and original culture of a place.

Interests

I love exploring nature. I have trekked around the Himalayas and Pyrenees so far. I love to swim be it open door or a pool and I'd like to do more to learn about nature.
I took to Vipassana meditation after attending the course last year.
