I'm an environmental journalist, researcher and compulsive reader living in India's national capital. I like long walks, listening to music and exploring world cinema. I love travelling and want to travel to as many countries as possible.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like the idea of people hosting each other for free and living in a local home not for commercial gains but purely out of their kindness and curiosity. I have met many interesting people through my couchsurf-host friends, and I too have small experience in hosting. A sharing-based economy is the future!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Himalayas, the most amazing place in the country. Then the time ran out of cash in a remote coastal village and marveled at how my host did not force me to pay up, just gave me his postal address to send the money in later.
