About Me

Countries explored: 20
Hoping to do 25 before I turn 25!

---

Writer who moonlights as a sleep-deprived writer.
I’m constantly fascinated by how words can create worlds.
My love affair with words drove me to learn 7 languages, tell stories, write poetry and even move to France to teach English.
It was in my time in Europe that I was bitten by the travel bug and I continue to be very smitten still.
I now live in New York City where I am discovering the world of advertising, travelling in the USA and exploring everything this diverse country has to offer.

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to, watch and read pretty much everything.
If you have a song, film or book that changed you, I'd love a recommendation :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went to France for a cultural exchange programme when I was 19. We were 50 individuals from 35 different countries and in a span of just a month, we created a bond that defied and continues to defy beyond nationalities and cultures, timezones and distance to become something real. In times of war and terrorism, this reinstates my belief in the fact that love will always, always be stronger than hate. This even inspired me to quit my job and move back to France to be a high school English teacher.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'd love to share stories over a coffee, cook or bake for you, give you an insight into the Indian culture and maybe write you a poem, if you'd like that!
