Born and raised in Bangkok as a third-culture local (Thai-Indian), I struggled to find my footing in a specific country. Thai people do not think I’m Thai, and Indians cannot believe that I’m Indian. In any case, I never felt like I belonged anywhere, so I decided to make the world my home. Having travelled on and off for over a decade, to more than 35 countries, I do not see myself stopping anytime soon. There’s something alluring about collecting stamps and visas on my passports.

Seeing as I sustain a full-time job in Singapore (at the moment) to fund my travels, when I’m not at work, I’m constantly
◾…plotting my next adventure,
◾…squeezing in some time off work,
◾…saving just about enough money for my next trip,
◾…and visiting embassies for Visa approvals.

Oh, if only the jet-setting life was as easy for 3rd world passport holders… but a girl can dream!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think it's a great way to meet some locals and in general people that live in that city as a solo traveler. I want to understand more about the country's culture than just what meets the eyes. Would be great to have a conversation with locals or expats living in any destination I travel to. :)
