I grew up in Delhi, India up until age of 10 and then moved to the East Coast USA. I have lived in Brooklyn for the past 6 years.

I love exploring, meeting new people, and having simple yet inspirational conversations about different lifestyles and cultures. I try to incorporate what I learn throughout my experiences into my daily life. Maybe we will teach each other something!

I have been an adventurous soul since birth and somewhat of a risk taker - I don't shy away from challenges and or ways of life. Looking to build my social circle here and give back to the community as much as I can.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Like I said in my bio, I want to gain knowledge of the world and experience it first hand. I grew up on books and documentaries and now I want to go out and explore the world. I am vegetarian and dont love fancy things (very down to earth)!

I would love to gain experiences and listen to your stories as well as share with you about my own culture and how that has shaped my personality. I hope to eventually pass these beautiful experiences to other couch surfers too.

I am not fond of tourist spots and hence would love to meet locals who truly breathe and live the culture :) and I can do the same for you in NYC.

Right now I don't have my own space, so when I get my own space next year, I would love to host people!
