I identify as queer. I grew up in New Delhi, India, and currently, I am pursuing my Ph.D. in sociology at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore. Johannesburg, SA is home for the next one year until Aug 2022.

I love to go hiking, camping, dancing, and cook for friends :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to learn about new cultures and meet new people. I feel that sharing a living space with people is about connecting with them. Therefore, I feel couch surfing can help me connect with like-minded people. So far I have met some really amazing people through Couchsurfing and continue to do so.

I am really looking forward to meeting with people who enjoy the outdoors, cooking, and talking about politics.
