Professionally: Work with World Bank's investments arm.
Personally: Avid backpacker who's been on solo-backpacking trips to 12 countries so far across Southeast Asia and Eastern Europe. Love conversations, rum and getting lost.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

New to the world of CS. Living life one experience at a time, CS ranks up top in teaching the local values, culture and helping find people with great stories.

Interests

Languages: I can speak three Indian languages (Hindi, Tamil and Telugu) and can read French, thanks to a literature driven education in French during high school.

Travel: I love and engage in hiking, diving and backpacking regularly. I've so far been to most of Southeast Asia, Nepal and Eastern Europe and look forward to exploring more.

Design: I got hitched to design while in college. While I continue to read a lot about it, I'm engaged less in it these days and would love to get back to it.

Photography: Amateur, really. But have seen and captured some amazing stories that I will carry with me for a lifetime.

Teach, Learn, Share

Would love to learn more about cultures and histories of places around the globe and share the same about my country / place.

Not a master yet in anything to teach. Just about managed to be a jack of some trades, really.
