I am an ecologist currently doing my PhD. I have traveled extensively within India since my childhood. I have been to some countries outside India as well. As a part of my work and interest, I have been to many wild places across India. I have stayed in remote parts of India's Himalayas and Western Ghats for months and explored and trekked across the forests. I love exploring and traveling to places whenever I find the time and try to soak in some culture and learn new things with the locals.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To go to new places, meet new people and see a place from a local's perspective.
