Hey there! I come from Mumbai, India and I am staying in Orleans for an internship at CNRS. I am presently living the best days of my life so far (and it always gets better!) pursuing my interests, traveling around the world and learning so much about myself!

I love music. I play the guitar and keyboard. Sometimes I just like to play notes that are coming to my mind and play music from it, that really soothes my mind.
I am a painter. I have worked on various large scale painting in my college. I have mostly worked with poster colors but I aspire to master oils too.
Lastly, I am foodie. I love cooking too. I like spicy food and since I am from India, I have a good idea about a variety of spices. Am always looking to try out new cuisines.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm here because I've realized that a Google search along the lines of "Best less known things to do in city X" does not usually give the desired results.

On a side note, I'm planning to travel alone during my semester in France, and want to ensure that alone does not convert to lonely; looking to meet people, locals and fellow travelers alike, during my weekend trips. Here to walk all those new city streets, talk while at it, and have a good time.

Music, Movies, and Books

Well the type of music I listen to depends on my mood and the place. You can expect a good mix slow Bollywood all the way to heavy metal. Sometimes I do prefer just instrumental.
I am all about movies, you name it. MARVEL!! Sherlock (both the series and the movies), Nolan, Harry Potter, Arrival, Ex Machina, About Time, Coco, Inside Out, the list goes on... Also TV series - Game of Thrones, FRIENDS, How I met your mother (I truly believe that there always is "The One"), Brooklyn nine nine, Two and a half men, Suits, and so on...

P.S. Dan Brown Rocks!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Follow my intuition and accept the invitation to work in France!

Teach, Learn, Share

I play the guitar and the keyboard, so I can jam, with pleasure.
For those learning English, I'm pretty good with the language and its grammar. For the more adventurous ones, I'm also reasonably good with Hindi, Marathi, and know great songs written in it.
Also, I like painting. During my college, I had a great opportunity of working on large scale paintings and I made the most of it. I would love to share my experience with anyone interested in arts.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I come from a rich cultural background and have been raised in a true Indian family. I can share some great insights and give a first hand experience on what it is to live a true Indian life which unfortunately nowadays has been contaminated by the influence of different cultures. I am all ears when it comes to listening about different cultures and tradition and I live in a neighborhood which is very open to anyone from any culture and accepts everyone with an open heart.
