Hello! My name is Rusa. Where am I from? Jhargram, a small and beautiful town in West Bengal (India). A simple girl who wants to live a simple and happy life; yet dreams to travel the 🗺️ to see new places, meet new people, experience their culture, exchange our stories and try some new cuisine.

I am a fun-loving person, love to interact with people - especially travellers - because their stories often inspire me to break my mental boundaries.

➡️ I like to keep things organized, can adjust myself in little space. I travel with my sleeping bag. I believe in real friendship and heartful connection rather than luxury and comfort. I'm a non-vegetarian who can also survive on vegetables. I like cooking; if you provide me kitchen, I would love to cook something for you. As a guest, I am very clean, polite and greatful.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Travelling is insufficient if we do not get to know the locals and their culture. The locals helps us to change the "Taboo" which we used to believe from our childhood.
