ONLY GIRLS' REQUESTS PLEASE. Read my bio, I'm not a local, lived here for 3+ years coz I'm studying in college here, I can show you my uni and campus life and ahmedabad's student haunts and architecture.

To all couch surfing requests, please don't treat me like a free hostel. I want to meet with you and share something special for the time you're here. So, read my profile before requesting ~~~✓ if you don't pay attention to my simple requests, I will be quick to decline. I get many requests and I cannot respond to everyone.

Hope to meet you soon!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I don't have a whole lifetime to visit every place I want to, and when I do, I don't love the typical tourist picture-clicking tours. I want to take back a part of the culture of the place, and leave a part of myself behind as well, which I hope to do by meeting new people on Couchsurfing.

I am hoping that these travels help me understand myself better - I am a very anxious person at times, as I tend to stress about every single thing. But drawing is my healing, and I am doing some soul-searching to help me hopefully sooner find peace and be happier and kinder.

Interests

I like architecture and arts, and learning about new cultures. I grew up in India, which is so diverse and multi-cultural and I feel like I take a part of every place with me when I leave. So I'd like to get to know people who can share a part of themselves with me too

Harry Potter (3, 6,7)
Death Note
Shingeki No Kyojin
Inuyasha
Kuroshitsuji
Macbeth
The Book Thief
All of Roald Dahl
All of Herge (Tintin)

Palace of Illusions - Chitra Bannerjee Divakaruni

TV :

Game of Thrones
Black Mirror
Supernatural
Brooklyn 9-9
Modern Family

Movies:

I won't even bother.

Mostly classical and alternative rock, but I can learn to like almost anything. I love reading, fiction and dystopian fiction especially! Movies - love horror, thriller, action and I used to read a lot of manga till about 5 years ago.

I love poetry as well, contemporary, classic, and even good movie dialogues or song lyrics can stick to me forever. Tell me a favorite line from a poem in your language! I'd love to share.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Well, I don't know what I'd classify as amazing, but I have many fun stories and memories of my crazy adventures over the past 22 years - I'll share them when we meet, you won't even believe some without proof

Teach, Learn, Share

I am not an expert or an artist, but I like sketching and photography - and my muse is mostly the human form, and plays of light and shadow. I can also talk extensively about my travels and experiences, and share my insights along the way! Especially if you plan to visit my lovely country, hit me up!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I HOST GIRLS :)

I am an amateur artist and I have passable cooking skills in Indian cuisine, and my own Nishi-cuisine. I brew the best tea (different from chai!) And I enjoy trying any new experiments.
