About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I wish I knew :/

ABOUT ME

I grew up in India and spent a year studying in Milan. I traveled (and couchsurfed) a LOT this past year, and can safely say I made the most of my year abroad :)

PHILOSOPHY

Live and let live.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've been a lurker on this website since 2010. July 2013, I decided to actually use it. So far, I've surfed with 6 hosts in 4 cities, and I've been amazed at the kind of hospitality and love I have received!
I'm completely inspired to host now, and as soon as my journey ends, I definitely will!!!

Update! I just came back to Milan... Surfed with 9 incredible hosts in 4 countries :D

Update again: My last few weeks in Europe, so I'm going off on another 3 week trip from the end of November till I finally go home in December.

AND FINAL UPDATE! I'm back home in India! Ready to host :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Absolutely excellent!! I cannot wait to share the love!

Interests

LOTS!!! Reading, music, history, religions, cultures. I want to know more and more!!
Let's not forget food :) I'm eager to try everything!

Music, Movies, and Books

Ooooh I dont knoww...
I used to read a LOT as a child, but fell out of the habit. I still read, but not as much as before. And I dont think Ive ever come across a book that didnt interest me.
Music... Well, my favourite was, is and always will be Westlife!!!! I like most kinds of music, though. Unless Im sitting with a constipated look on my face. That means Im trying to not tell you to turn it off!! Haha...
Movies... Im not a particularly big movie buff. I dont dislike them, of course, but I wont say Im crazy about movies either. 2-3 movies a month works just fine for me!!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The North-Eastern states of India. I once had a very small trip there, and it is sooo underrated!!
I visted Prague in July 2013. Its the first city that has met and exceeded all my expectations.
Hitchhiked solo from Budapest to Ljubljana and met amazing people- something I never thought I'd dare to do.
Bulgaria was a surprise package. Also Poland and Slovenia. Incredible and extremely underrated countries.

Teach, Learn, Share

The culture of food... It means a lot to me. Anything food related... Recipes, cooking styles, rituals!!

Countries I’ve Visited

Botswana, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Luxembourg, Poland, Romania, Singapore, Slovakia, Slovenia, South Africa, Switzerland, Thailand, United Kingdom, United States, Zimbabwe
