Overview
About Me
Hello everyone, I am living in the UK since 5 years, currently based in London. Originally, born and brought up in one of the most beautiful and culturally varied country- India. In my childhood, I had a very weird wish to fly like a bird and travel all over the world or maybe even escape into space! (A kids imagination can run wild! Haha) I started off with my first travel with parents and then continued with my team for taekwondo championships all over India. Travelling solo followed after that, until I explored India in depth and thought of flying out to the far western island- the UK for my further education. I believe that life is very precious and every moment can be spent with happiness if we are conscious in the present!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I love to make new local friends while travelling, experience various cultures and help any fellow backpackers if they are nearby my city.
Interests
I love being in connection with "mother nature" and the fragrance of wet soil after a rain shower gives me immense pleasure. I also try to volunteer for various environment-conservation organizations, whenever possible. I have recently started learning classical guitar and indoor climbing, so any tips would be welcomed :) hehe. Also, I feel meditation is the food we can offer our mind and soul. I love to practice it regularly. More inclined to vegetarian cuisine recently, so love to cook new healthy recipes every week!
