Overview
About Me
Helloo everybody! I am a young, passionate explorer who has just begun fulfilling her travel dreams. I am an exchange student from India in Paris, determined to immerse in the European culture. Traveling, to me, is about connecting with the stories, cultures, and hearts of those who call those places home.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I believe in understanding a place from the local citizen's perspective and couchsurfing is the best way to get to know the soul of a place. It is more than just a method to save money on lodging; it is an opportunity to make true connections with individuals from all walks of life, with people belonging to a completely different culture from mine. I would love to experience different european countries through the eyes of the local and not just a tourist.

Music, Movies, and Books
Music is something that brings peace to my being, helping me relax. Being an Indian, I prefer classic Bollywood melodies and ghazals. But I also enjoy dancing to rock music, anything with satisfying beats.
I enjoy watching tragic romantics where I can cry my heart out. Fault in My Stars has remained my favorite book and movie for years. But my favorite watch recently has been Pakistani dramas apart from Hollywood sitcoms, anything that can lighten my mood after a stressful day.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Embarking on a journey that took me more than 8,000 kilometers away from home, where I found myself in an entirely foreign city, armed only with basic knowledge of the local language, has been nothing short of a remarkable adventure—one that has profoundly shaped my perspective on life and the world.
Now, as I seek to continue this awe-inspiring journey, I am eager to connect with Couchsurfing hosts who share a passion for exploration and cultural exchange. I believe that the most profound experiences in life occur when we step out of our comfort zones, and I'm thrilled at the prospect of forging meaningful connections with fellow travelers and hosts who understand the magic of these adventures.
What I Can Share with Hosts
As an Indian traveler, I bring with me a deep appreciation for the tapestry of cultures that make up my homeland. I'm eager to share the vibrant traditions, rich history, and mouthwatering flavors of India with my hosts. From cooking up authentic Indian dishes to offering insights into our diverse festivals and customs, I'm here to create a cultural exchange like no other. Whether it's exposing you to Bollywood melodies, guiding you through a rejuvenating yoga session, or adorning you with intricate henna designs, I'm excited to share the artistic and spiritual facets of Indian culture. Beyond that, I'll gladly offer travel tips, recommend hidden gems in my city, and invite you to experience the warmth and hospitality that define our culture. Together, we can embark on a journey of discovery, connecting our worlds and creating lasting memories.
