About Me

An Indian expat who is currently based in New Delhi, India. I like to meet random folks and get to know cultures, make new friends along life's wonderful journey. I am accepting guests after a brief video call and general verification. I am not into much partying, clubbing ... and prefer coffee tea shops or quaint restaurants for intimate gatherings.

I use the pronouns (she/ her).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I stumbled upon this site by pure chance. I am yet to reap its benefits. I am still a beginner and am as excited like a wide-eyed child restless to unravel the birthday presents...

Interests

Having casual conversations, a nature lover, likes to go hiking in the woods, go on long drives with good music and company, a foodie and almost hates nothing with food, can taste almost all kinds of cuisine, wants to continue globe trotting, read, sketch, paint, crack and listen jokes especially live stand-up comics, attend theater, watch TV, cinema, learn new languages (to be a polyglot is a cherished dream) and the list goes on and on... by now you may have got an inkling already ...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Ask and I shall say some and more ...

Teach, Learn, Share

Life is a great teacher and of course there are lot of things we can learn, teach and share with one another. I am always open to learning and sharing especially when embarking on a new endeavor.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share with my hosts my live's numerous bitter-sweet experiences and would keep an open ear to hearing from them as well. As a guest I'd like to know in advance if my hosts have particular expectations from their guests or rules which have to be adhered to ... etc. and try to be the perfect guest just as they try to be the perfect hosts.
