I am New to Canada. Busy creating a life for myself here. That means new friends, new family .. Savoring every single moment of this journey. Traveled across USA for 30 days a few years ago. Looking to do the same in Canada now. Hopefully next summer.

Curious and Fearless. You will see this when we meet. Definitely curiosity. I am so curious that to learn about Americans, once I drove from New York to California for 30 days to meet 30 unknown families that I had never met before and made a film about their lives ! 30-in30 ! I was on ABC news !

I will eat your ears to know more about you, your culture, your food and stories about your how your parents and grand parents met! And definitely this question, "So, what are your days like?" . One girl named me "Question Mark" once, because I ask a lot!

I kinda know something about everything! Whether it's Sigmund Freud or TS Elliot or Mahashweta Devi, or I can begin from anywhere! So very soon, we shall be a fun engaging conversation !

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have made some really long lasting friendships by surfing on couches of people in so many cities - Chicago, SF, LA, Indianapolis, Palakkad, Chennai .. it has been incredible experience.. and each time I learned so much from these friends.. I am glad our paths crossed.

Likewise, when I hosted couples or individuals from Hyderabad, Estonia, US, Australia I enjoyed so much learning about their lives. They all carried unique stories of what made them who they were.
