I'm Saisha, 21, born and raised in India, but currently a little all bit all over the place! I went to school in New York, I'm currently working at a financial consultancy firm in Shanghai, China and my heart takes me back to India as often as it can.
Its funny how its only when you have to fill an "about me" that you suddenly question who you are a person. I suppose it would be simplest to say that I like going places, and meeting people and doing new things. It most truly makes me feel alive and happy. I'm in a place where I have suddenly realized that there is a whole lot of world to see, and that I can't wait to go see it. So here I am, seeing, doing and being present as sincerely as I can. :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Broke ass college student budget.

Ok, no, I'm joking. (Well that too, but not really). I think the best way to see a place is through the lens of people that live there. Waking up to what they wake up to, walking where they walk every day and sharing the food they love. I think its a much more meaningful way to fall in love with a new city.

Interests

I like to read almost everything. I will try anything twice. I sleep a lot. Jazz makes me happy. I don't like hiking if I can avoid it. I eat a lot of sushi. I cook if I can. Opening wine bottles. Consuming wine. Still learning how to be a functional adult. Very good with maps. Not very good with numbers.

Dancer, lover of all things beautiful, tea drinker.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like a lot of old school jazz- Sinatra, Buble, NatKing Cole, Davis
Some part of me will never get over Coldplay
I'm currently listening to a lot of Zero7
Chill psy depending on my mood.

The Godfather is the classiest film ever made. A Beautiful Mind, About Time, Before Sunrise and Searching for Sugar Man are some great films I've watched this year.

Lets not even begin with books.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Oh, definitely my first night-dive while getting my advanced scuba diving license. I'm terrified of the dark, and of depths so I basically came out of the water feeling like God.

Teach, Learn, Share
