About Me

Hello! I am a very easy going and a little crazy person. I am passionate about architecture, travelling and photography. At the age of 18, I have already been to quite a few countries! I love pushing myself beyond my comfort zone. I am a very mature child with a streak of madness. I am currently living in Houston, Texas, USA, while my family continues to stay in India. I would love to meet all the great people on Couchsurfing! See you soon!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I love meeting people from all kinds of places and listening to stories. Couchsurfing is the easiest, most efficient way of understanding cultures from around the world by spending time with people from different situations and backgrounds. It supports all the travellers in the world, not the tourists. I have a crazy travel bug and Couchsurfing can help my personality and my wallet.

Music, Movies, and Books

As an avid reader, some of the books that have really impacted me as a person are Khalid Hosseini's A thousand Splendid Suns, Anne Frank's The diary of a Young Girl, Pride and Prejudice, and Ayn Rand's The Fountainhead. Since the beginning of my college life, I have also started watching quite a few TV Shows. My current favourites are The Fosters, Game of Thrones, Quantico and FRIENDS. I like most animation movies from Disney or Pixar, and others like Perks of Being a Wallflower, The Breakfast Club, and The Devil Wears Prada. I also have a soft spot in my heart for some Bollywood movies.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

It feels so hard to pick and choose the one amazing thing I have done but off the top of my head, I would like to say solo travelling, deep sea diving and moving to a different country, leaving my family and friends behind. I have also done much more crazy stuff and we can share our stories when we meet! I would love to tell you more!

Teach, Learn, Share

I feel every person has something to gain and something to give to the next person. This may range from materialist things to more intellectual ones to habits. I can teach you my language Hindi, my weird theories about the world and some great photography skills! I can even do some great photography for you to keep as gifts! I am always open to sharing every event of my life that has made me what I am and I will be all ears to whatever you would love to share or teach.
