In 2021/2022, I packed up all my things and started living a nomadic lifestyle. I spent several months living and traveling in my car in California. A few months ago, I left my life in the US to live in India. It's been my dream to live in India for my whole life. Just being here fills my being's deepest need.

So far, I've spent my days in Goa, Mumbai, did a Bharat Yatra, Rajasthan...more ongoing. I've mostly stayed in hostels and would love to couchsurf if your place is open. I am extremely clean and considerate. I'm also down to hangout. (Note: I'm interested in friendship, not dating).

When I started this journey, this is what I wrote: "I feel like I've embarked on a new wave of change in my life and my best days are ahead of me." What I felt then was completely true. My best days are now both behind me and ahead of me :)

I love having deep and honest conversations with people. I feel alive when I'm connecting with myself, with nature, and with others.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet beautiful humans like you.

Because connection makes the world go round.
