About Me

I am a college student trying to travel all while managing to complete assignments, work, eat, film, sleep and repeat haha. But anyway, even though I get a limited time I still love to explore a new place even when it's in my own city.

I grew up in India and then moved to the States for college and since then I have traveled to quite some places. I am a Film Major at college so you will probably see me around the campus with a camera up early trying to film beautiful sunrise before it is too late.

I love biking and I quite often I go on long trails and I think is the best way to know a place better than by walking. I have a bike here and in India and both are dear to me! If you have dogs, I am gonna fall in love with them very easily and then I would also take longer to leave your place.

When I was new here, meeting new people and understanding different cultures helped more than anything so I looking forward to meet you amazing people when my travels bring me to your place!! ^^

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

There's no better way to make a person feel welcomed to a new place than to invite them to their own place. I think Couchsurfing not only gives someone space to but probably also leaves them with amazing connection with the people they will connect through this journey.

Exploring and learning become easier when there are people to lift each other up. I feel like Couchsurfing gives people a chance to share their experience with a complete stranger who has already opened up their living space and to learn from them.

So I am here to be a part of this amazing community which shares my love for travel and to learn and explore together.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love a lot of movies to choose one but sometimes I’ll just watch the cheesiest movie while turning the filmmaker in me off.

I love Janelle Monáe, Adele, Ed Sheeran, Billie Eiliesh to name a few.

I have not been reading much lately but I can always reread Harry Potter for like the hundredth time.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The best thing I have done so far is moving to a different country for college. Not only it helped find more about but it also made me independent which I could never have been, at home. While the transition wasn't easy it also wasn't hard thanks to all the amazing and accepting people that I met at my college.

This 'thing I did' when I wasn't sure of how it would turn out to be, when a lot of things were at stake only left me teaching to just take a leap of faith and to do just do it.

Teach, Learn, Share

Well to start with, I can teach you how to coil a cable on a production set the right way [filmmakers you probably know what I mean haha] and then I can share the extensive knowledge I happen to have about the Harry Potter series in detail.

However, I would love to learn anything. I believe that learning something new can only help a person grow so be it language, culture, experience, stories, skill...bring it on I'd love to be a part of it.

What I Can Share with Hosts

If you are in Buffalo then hit me up and we can totally hang out!!

Cleaning relaxes me so I can for sure help you clean your room or house. Besides, I might teach you how to make some Indian food. I am a huge movie buff so I would love to share what I know about producing films.
