Just graduated high school and I'm spending the next year backpacking around Europe/South East Asia. I grew up in a few different cities around India, and I am now so ready to discover the rest of the world.
In a nutshell, I would describe myself as easy-going, adventurous, and curious. I love to discover new things, and am usually down for any kind of spontaneous adventure. I love to learn and I believe that travel does for the soul what education does for the mind. I'm also an aspiring artist, and am super inclined towards fine art, film, music, etc. I love meeting new people and am a very friendly person; I believe that every new friend is a new adventure.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As I mentioned above, I just finished high-school, which means I'm travelling on a strict budget. Instead of spending money on accommodation, I'd rather focus on discovering new places from a locals perspective while making richer and more meaningful connections. :)

Interests

As clichéd as it sounds, I'm genuinely interested in everything. I'm naturally a curious person and so everything interests me and I like to explore all kinds of things - from science museums to techno clubs.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'm very passionate about animals, and through my last year of high school I worked towards creating a rescue program for street dogs and cats. The program raised money for funding for shelters as well as had events to create awareness on animal cruelty. During this time I personally rescued three animals.
