CURRENT MISSION

Exploding my own perception of reality.

ABOUT ME

Awkward talking about myself in general but I love getting to know new people and places. Studying sociology & government at UT Austin & avoiding reality until 2013. Didn't have the opportunity to travel much growing up but trying to turn that around these days...

PHILOSOPHY

I try to understand & appreciate the world around me in all its shit and sunshine.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm not quite sure...completely new to this. I'll let you know when I figure it out.

Interests

Any activity that can enthrall two sides of an inquiring mind. I don't not like much but I'm most passionate about art, classical Indian dance, music (although I have no musical talent whatsoever), sociology and political activism.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Spent a year attending a village art school in the middle of a forest in India when I was very young (around 8 years old?). Didn't understand what was happening at the time, and I definitely didn't enjoy it then. But looking back, it was a total game changer and I couldn't be more grateful for that life-changing experience.
