Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am currently traveling through India and looking to meet folks who are interested in connecting with me. Looking for couches to surf in Bangalore, Calcutta and Darjeeling. Also interested in meeting folks who have similar interests as me and/or are doing socially concsious/progressive work in their communities.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I went to one couch surfing party in Berkeley, California about 5 years ago. Have hung out with couch surfers that friends have hosted at their homes.

Interests

I am very passionate about social justice and have an interest in left-wing/radical politics. Also interested in women's health and empowerment, yoga, bicycling, trekking, gardening, organic permaculture gardening, science fiction, dancing, metaphysics, and understanding the meaning of life.
