CURRENT MISSION

Travel so much that the world begins to shrink :)

ABOUT ME

I am an unusual, open-minded and confident person. Having spent half my life in India and the other half in US, I think it's fascinating and important to understand and respect different cultures. When I travel, I want to meet locals- I want to find the cute little places that tourists don't go to and learn about the history, the social issues, the local (non-commericialized) dishes... and a few words in the native tongue! I have travelled and stayed in hostels, but have craved more. It's great to meet fellow travelers, but I really want to experience a new city through the eyes of a native!

Also, I am an autonomous person and absolutely despise being a bother to others, so I will be very respectful of your time. Perhaps the best thing I can offer is appreciation- I am thankful that you are willing to open your home to me and want to do my best to make sure you don't regret the decision!

Что привело меня на Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Am new to CS, but in the near future, I want to host and return the hospitality which others have treated me with!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Am brand spanking new-- give me a few weeks and I'll provide a detailed description of my experience :)

Интересы

I am an adrenaline junkie! Everything from flying, surfing, rock climbing to dancing, cooking, and shopping. I prefer to stay active- not just in the physical sense, but also intellectually. Am always trying to learn and do something new. Just recently, I enrolled in Tabla and Sitar classes, also have been studying West African dance for two years, and learned Italian for 2 years. I LOVE spontaneity, especially when traveling, because it's the last minute, crazy and random experiences which are absolutely unforgettable and unimaginably perfect!
