Grew up in Mumbai + New York.

Westernized in thinking. Forced Desi by society.

Lover of Bubble Tea.

Japanese is my all time favorite cuisine cuz Ramen and Sushi are pretty bomb yo. But also, Pizza is bae.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Trying to do my bit towards paying it forward. People have always fascinated me. They often say that travelling makes you more open-minded, but i think it's the people that do that, no matter where you are.

But mainly to show people my amazing California Valley Girl impression.
