Bonjour, Hola, Hoi, Hallo, Namaste, Hi,

A student of life. Eager to learn and naturally curious Pooja here. Like you, I too love meeting like-minded peaceful people.
Born and brought up in beautiful India, having lived in most of the states here have got me embrace the essence of different cultures, food, languages, society, the beauty of sharing, the meaning of love, and moral values. Have traveled/stayed all the places most like local.
Things I enjoy the most is, making the best out of time/situation, Eg. when I'm not working for a living, I like doing things which makes life more meaningful and enjoyable like:
- To be of use to aspiring-minds or friends in their growth aspects like Career/Education/Yoga/Wellness
- Deep talks with friends about life and technologies.
- To experiment cooking (did I tell you that, I can cook good vegetarian Indian cuisines with your help :) )
- Love going into nature, doing holistic stuff, smelling fresh air, meeting and appreciating genuine eyes (human, birds, animals, trees, flowers)
- Read, learn, share and re-read :)

Attitude towards life:
- I believe in Dreams. #NeverGiveUp. With hope, determination and implementing the ideas, each one of us can realize our dreams!
- Love self and other beings, be kind and humble, holistic living, laugh, learn and share.

DISCLAIMER:
1. I am NOT interested in hookups, and it's not Tinder, so kindly please DO NOT send me any meetup request inclining, I don't want to respond.
2. If you are not a friend, I won't accept your friend request either
(Better get this 2 points- I don't like any fake stuff on CS like a genuine place which is essential to be safe and trustable, plus I get xxxxx amount of requests every day so I won't even respond if you are on the wrong side)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

1. To meet and keep myself inspired by the awesome people around, and explore things from another traveler's spectrum.

2. I hold good knowledge in planning out travel like local the places I have been (most enjoyment with least spent on materialistic things i.e I can give good tips for cheap thrills) and I would like to be of use in planning out these cities:
- India: Jaipur, Kanyakumari, Rameshwaram, Mysore, Bangalore, Mumbai
- UK: London
- Scotland: Glasgow
- Belgium: Brugge, Leuven, Brussels
- Paris
- Amsterdam
- Chicago
Traveling to any of the above? Happy to help you plan out.

NOTE: Currently, I don't own a place to host, hopefully, in future, I would be able to host here in India, however, if you have hosted me earlier or we have known each other, I would 500% love to find a way to host you.

3. For self + help others "budget travel" and learn how other people live and incorporate their ways which I find valuable.
4. To experience and to help others witness - "Yes! generosity, kindness and sacred friendships exists"

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- Lost in the middle of trek (at midnight) with a bunch of adventurous and amazing people at Chikmagalur(Karnataka, India) and found the life again when we nearly died :D watched bare sky full of stars with the morning dew (layer by layer, its just most scenic view one can ever witness)
- Walked through whole London like local. Started solo, however, ended up meeting a couple of awesome people turned friends to cherish forever.
- Ran for 16 KM Marathon with full spirit, dreaming me winning it ;-)
----- see! I could not stop at one ;-) most of the times I have lots of stories to talk about however if you want me to shut up, I'm great at that too.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach:
- Yoga, Meditation, Pranayam
- Authentic Indian Vegetarian food Cooking
- Software Testing and Automation and a few more software skills
- Languages like English, Hindi and some more Indian dialects

Want to learn tons of things, like improv, how to make anything from raw materials, and artistic stuff like sketch, paint, sing and dance awesome and it's a never-ending list :) basically any good thing I don't know yet and is worth learning.

What I Can Share with Hosts

- Happy vibes, discussions, care, respect, experiences, stories
- Home chores workload (I would like to help in daily tasks just like I do at my home)

+ I'm flexible enough to respect individual's comfort and I can stay pin drop silent too when you want me to be as you may be tired some day or completely busy up with your work/life, I totally value your privacy and comfort.
