I recently quit my job in London at a business incubator. I'm taking 6 months to go on a big adventure!! Originally I'm Indian but my family, even my grandparents, have come from Africa. What else can I tell you?!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I want a more authentic experience and to learn learn about the reality of the places I visit. I find it is so much easier to make friends this way also and am always eager for people i meet to come and stay at my place in London and give them an authentic London experience.

Documentaries, world cinema, obscure art films and TB series. I sometimes to watch more Bollywood films to learn Hindi and Spanish films to learn Spanish... but I haven't been very successful in learning either of them yet because I end up reading the subtitles.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I did the Annapurna Trek in the Himalayas without doing any training before hand!! (I recommend training)

Teach, Learn, Share

To teach and share.
I can teach you to play sitar (if you have a sitar), I can share some great card games (if you have playing cards), I can teach you to make your own clothes (if you have a sewing machine), I am very good at drawing (if you want to come out and draw with me), I can cook authentic Indian food for you and teach you the basics. I can teach you about how to prototype and test business ideas quickly and cheaply if you are a budding entrepreneur... and I love to share music.

To learn..
I want to learn how people live and think all around the world. I like to learn about food, politics, lifestyles; everything local.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I think I might have answered this in the 'teach and learn' section... Beyond that, I have a lot of life experience, some interesting stories to share and I've been told I'm good company.
