About Me

doctor in the making.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Love meeting new people from different parts of the world. It never fails to amaze me how two people from different countries can be so radically different and yet share lot of similarities. Wanderlust seed is budding. I haven't travelled to many countries but hoping that I'm inspired by stories and experiences from other couch surfers!

Interests

Reading, dancing, yoga, Swimming, Cooking and learning different kinds of cuisine, constantly discovering new English music, writing haikus, origami, petting any small furry animal that I lay my eyes on.
