I am currently a student studying in Europe but on a research visit to India. I spent by entire childhood in a small town which is surrounded by mountains with elephants on them and with plenty of water at top (as rain) , bottom (as canals) and in-between (in coconut trees).I never realized what this meant until I stepped out for education. I am not a great fan of big cities, fiction and shopping. I love cooking, bicycling, vegetarian food, mystery movies, taking slow walks, watching sunrise and sunset and learning random interesting facts. I used to teach primary school children. I am presently studying rural development (makes sense because I hate cities!!)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am here to meet interesting people and make connections. All the couchsurfers I have met so far have been warm, welcoming and friendly people. I hope I get to share my bit of happiness and interests with people I meet through couchsurfing. Looking forward to having meaningful conversations, unforgettable experiences and also learn about local cuisines.
